What platforms?

GNOME was started by several people well-known in the Linux and GNU communities, but it is intended to run on any modern and functional Unix-like system. GNOME has been reported to work under the following:

GNU/Linux
BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD)
Solaris
IRIX
HP-UX
AIX
probably some others; I have not really kept track.

If you try GNOME on other platforms and it works, then please be sure to let me know so that I can include it here. If you try it on another platform and have trouble, then please report the difficulties which you encounter, so that the GNOME developers can work on the problem. (See Reporting Bugs.)
