Note: If you recompile Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux to support a Linux distribution unsupported by Sophos, or a customized Linux kernel, Sophos reserves the right not to provide support where any such recompilation (or customization) has taken place. Sophos will use reasonable endeavors to provide first-line support. Should issues arise that require second-line support, or any other escalation process, Sophos cannot guarantee that such issues will be resolved.
