Actually, that *should* say 'The BSDI version is known to run reliably
under FreeBSD.' *grin*
{I know of some folks who are currently using it under FreeBSD}
>(and perhaps Linux with iBCS installed),
Note, the Linux iBCS emulator will run about 5% of the BSD binaries (if
that), and the author has posted that he will not work on it anymore
w/out monetary support, so it's a dead product with little use until
someone else makes it work.
