It runs on Oracle's (NCI's) FreeBSD based Network Computer server. It also runs on FreeBSD-current, if you tar it up and untar it, as someone who shall remain nameless has done to see if there were OS specific hooks built into the NC server FreeBSD kernel to support the database (there weren't). It's a matter of leveraging a big company that needs it (e.g. Yahoo) to get it released as a supported product on FreeBSD in general, instead of merely as a component of their NC server. It needs a corporate sponsor. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
