[bf1942] Linux server status report 2003-04-09

[Fredriksson, Andreas]

FreeBSD isn't within the current scope of our development, but given enough
demand and when our releases have stabilized I don't see why we couldn't
compile a native FreeBSD version given that it supports what we need (I
haven't
looked at it since early 4.x).

The goal now is to produce a good Linux version.

Regards,
Andreas

I'm curious how this will affect folks who are running FreeBSD and using
Linux Compatibility mode?
