Visigenic (aka Inprise) has versions of their products for several *nix
including the daemons, so I suppose the port to Linux would depend only on
Visigenic deciding that to be a good idea.

In my experience, if I run Visibroker programs w/o osagent, they take some
time to initialize because the runtime tries to find the osagent and gives
up after some timeout, then all is okay (I didn't test the naming service in
such situation). BUT you can avoid this initialization problem by using the
switch "-ORBdisableLocator true" (this will also make impossible to use
Gatekeeper).

Well, most ORBs are still catching up with the POA and other things.
Visibroker 4.0 is supporting this for quite some time, but it's still in
internal beta and I don't know what's holding its release, but probably they
want to integrate every other product like ITS and Borland.com's compilers
and make a big splash.
