That's correct. - The code is portable, but we're developing for Ubuntu Linux and have no resources to port to, or package for, other platforms ourselves. There are no stable packages for any platform yet. - The alpha release has dependencies that themselves are fairly tricky to install. We are slowly removing these. - The system is still in alpha release. We won't call it a "beta" release until we're reasonably happy with the overall design and the system is fairly self-contained.

Well, the long and involved installation instructions should be a fairly clear indication, and the question of supported platforms and functionality is addressed in the FAQ.
