First I can give you an account on our internal Opensolaris-Server. I
can setup an virtual maschine with full root access for you or someone
other. This server is up 24h/7days. You have to login on an linux
maschine with ssh and then to the opensolaris server. Is this ok for
you? Later i will setup a dedicated server at my provider with access
from the internet. But i think this will be in juli/august this year.
If you want, send me a pm.

QNX is POSIX compliant, but the graphical UI (Photon) may be a problem.
I do not know if factor is an overkill for our embedded project with QNX
on an ARM-Processor (Beagle Board). First i have to port gforth. If a
have the time and the need for factor on QNX, i will do the port with
your help. First factor is our choice for the control program on our
workstations.
