But Linux and Solaris are the most well supported and heavily tested. AIX is still relatively well tested, I think. A few people run servers on FreeBSD, I think; at least one site runs them on NetBSD, and there may be one site that runs them on OpenBSD. I've heard that we work on IllumOS, but I don't know if anyone really uses it "for real". HP-UX is not really tested anymore, but the last time anyone tried it did work. Last I heard, Windows servers don't work. I'm not sure about OS X (someone else can fill that in). For clients, obviously Windows and OS X clients work. Otherwise, I think this generally follows the same pattern as servers, but portability issues matter much more. The above mentions also refer to x86/amd64 only, with the obvious exceptions: Solaris (amd64, SPARC), AIX (POWER etc), and HP-UX (PA-RISC; never tested on Itanium). The non-x86 architectures on Linux, for example, I don't think are well tested, but they may work (the build system recognizes them and all). -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
