It seems like we parse IBM's cryptic webpages differently. The link
above points to several different webpages for the different versions
of Lotus Notes:

7.0.3: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=475&uid=swg27010239,
no Linux distributions listed.

8.0: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27009485, two
Linux distributions listed.

8.0.1: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27011237, two
Linux distributions listed.

My conclusion is that 8.0 and later is supported on Linux, not 7.0.2
and beyond.
