I just received my Netscape Unix Server Bundle cdroms today. The Commerce
Server (ver 1.12) CD has the install trees for *all* the supported unixes
on it. There is a BSDI install tree on it, no FreeBSD. The BSDI version
would probably run under FreeBSD (and perhaps Linux with iBCS installed),
no? Of course, I'd never install those versions in violation of my license
agreement :-), since my webserver is an HP9000/E45 and I just got a new
HP9000/D250 with the PS-RISC7200 chip (@ 101 MHz) today to play with (I dunno
if the compiled-for-hpux 9.xx executables will run under hp-ux 10.x).
