There's a version for Cobalt Qubes. I'm not sure about the Raqs. Some
use MIPS processors others x86. I think that the x86-based Raqs would
work with the Linux x86 Rebol binary.

Yep. I didn't even tell my hosting service I was installing Rebol. I
figured if they were giving me access to gcc, which is potentially far
more dangerous, then they shouldn't care if I run Rebol, which is pretty
innocuous.

Pretty much anything that can run Apache can run Rebol.
Incidentally, are there any other MachTen users out there? It would
be nice to have a version of Rebol for MachTen. That way I could test my
Rebol CGI scripts locally with Apache while still running the Mac OS and
using BBEdit, Golive, Photoshop, etc.
MachTen is BSD 4.4ish. So as long as it doesn't do weird things with
the VM subsystem, I'd imagine a port would be rather straightforward.

Yep, that's what I did. My Rebol CGI scripts can send email without
using sendmail.
