Linux and FreeBSD are more of an "intended target" for the server at
this point.  The server compiles and runs on Linux, but is largely
untested.  The port to FreeBSD has been accomplished largely by you
(thanks George).  We're concentrating on stability and accurracy on
Solaris right now, because that's our own environment, and we need to
make 100% sure it works for the cutover on April 23rd.

Having said that, we WILL make the code work on Linux and FreeBSD as
soon as possible, hopefully before the cutover as well.

I hesitate to do this, but...  I have two questions related to this.  Is
anybody else running SCO?  And is anybody else running another operating
system (Unix-like, although I suppose a Cygnus port is theoretically
possible for Windows) that they plan to run RIPE Whois 3.0 on?
