.. and Solaris. It's worth noting, though, that there can be quite a bit of variation between one flavor of Unix and another, and MM has been pretty conservative about what's a supported configuration. There'll be more concern for getting other flavors of Unix/Linux on Intel supported, I think, before anyone at MM cares to support OS X. For an idea of how complex these issues can get, check out the archive for the cf-linux list. Also, I'm not sure whether you can just take binaries from other platforms and run them on OS X. I suspect not - Mac processors are big-endian and Intel processors are little-endian (or is it the other way around - I can never remember), so you probably can't just run the Linux version in compatibility mode, like I suggested a minute ago. And again, while OS X can run all this nifty software, who's actually buying servers from Apple? Can you rack-mount those new iMacs?
