Will there be support for Win98 / Win2000 / Solaris / MacOS / NetBSD / etc.?
The X-Bone requires support for IPIP tunnels and virtual interfaces. It also requires renumbering interfaces on the fly, and setting up routes. As such, some current operating systems (notably Win98, Win2000, Mac pre-X, and Solaris pre 2.8) cannot easily be supported, as far as we understand. Support for other systems, e.g., Solaris 2.8, MacOS-X, are being evaluated. We do not currently plan to port to other BSD’s; such ports should be comparatively trivial. Some components of the distribution also require other facilities, e.g., IPSEC, X.509/SSL, or the Apache web server.
