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.

What no BSD ?

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.
