FreeAXP has been designed to run on Windows, Linux, and OpenVMS. About 90% of the code set is compatible across all three O/S. However, FreeAXP is currently only supported under Windows.
FreeAXP is being released first on Windows because this host O/S offers the best revenue possibilities for our commercial Alpha emulator, Avanti. We will release FreeAXP on Linux and OpenVMS when the product revenue stream permits the expense internally or when someone funds the development and testing required to properly support each additional host O/S. Preparing release candidates for OpenVMS and Linux is about a $50K proposition for each host O/S.
