Hi,

I'm a little bit surprised. On the Lazarus list there is no reference to Unix, but only Linux. I asked a question about a month ago which was could/would Lazarus run on Unix. The answer was yes, with minor modifications. Is this still the case?

Wouldn't the Lazarus project get more following if the "lazarus talk" stated that names Unix and Linux can be read interchangeable?

It would, but the fact is that FPC only runs on i386 Linux at the moment.

At this very moment, we are developing powerPC and Alpha code generators, so any platform that runs on those architectures will also be possible n future.
