100% of novell's ximian evolution using customers run linux. I applaud their decision to focus on their own customers by enhancing evolution's capabilities - not to say there won't eventually be fun toys for the windoze crowd, I just don't see that being a big priority for them.

piman says " What, no BSD?"

I should have said "100% unix type OSes", OK, bsd (and solaris?) have some share of that, but it's mostly linux. Does bsd running it in linux emulation count? I don't know, but that's an excellent question.

One certainty is that suse/ximian (now novell) is in the linux business.

If you want a BSD port then download the source, compile, debug (to cover minor differences in system calls and headers etc ?) and develop a compatible patch which can go into the mainstream. That's one of the benefits of free software.
