The problem is that they have build the server to depend solely on how linux operates. Hard coded commands, specifics about modules (i.e. lsmod, depmod, etc). If they wern't so full of fuzz about the installation, chances are the VMServer would run under linux-emu on BSD. But alas, at the moment BSD lacks the commands that VMServer requires. As far as Linux goes, it runs on just about anything.... Redhat, SuSe, Slackware, etc. -- Chris
