That seems to be their standard tech support answer for anything they can't handle ... Anyone from ASUS reading this should take notice: Having so much traffic going on on the LKML regarding the inability of competent people to get your board to work is a major PR problem. As a result of this, you are likely to have already lost dozens of potential customers who may have been looking at this board, but as a result of what they found from doing a google on "Linux and K8N-DL" have probably decided to purchase another product instead. And if no one from ASUS is reading this, then ASUS has got far more serious problems than the previous paragraph hints.
