Right, religious OS turf wars aside, here's the count of operating
systems that have either successfully, moderately-successfully, or with some
hacks, been able to use Plucker currently:
* Linux (all flavors)
- repeated problems with Redhat 7.x Python builds
* OS/2 Warp 3 and 4 and Aurora
* Solaris
* HP-UX
* AIX
* Windows98/98SE/NT4/2000/ME (no testers for XP yet)
* BSD (both FreeBSD and NetBSD)
* Macintosh (prior to MacOSX)
- any OSX testers want to help? I know of only one so far
That's a pretty good segment of operating systems and environments.
I think we're doing good so far.
One of the questions I have though, is what does Palm plan to do to
support their Palm Desktop offering and Hotsync conduit stuff for the
ongoing migration of Macintosh/Apple users to the new OSX environment? The
rules change slightly.. Then again, Palm did spin off their OS business,
perhaps they're going to focus on more hardware and tools than the OS
itself..
