I once asked on haiku-development emailing list if it would be possible to port
Web Positive browser to Linux and BSD, and the answer was that it would be
difficult to impossible because of differences and incompatibilities between
the Haiku software libraries and the software libraries in Linux and *BSD.
So I imagine it would be practically impossible to port Haiku display server to
Linux or BSD. But I don't know everything, could possibly be wrong on this
issue.
