+=head1 Target Platforms
+
+The ultimate goal of Parrot is portability to more-or-less the same
+platforms as Perl 5, including AIX, BeOS, BSD/OS, Cygwin, Darwin,
+Debian, DG/UX, Domain/OS, DragonFlyBSD, DYNIX/ptx, Embedix, EPOC,
+FreeBSD, Gentoo, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, Mac OS (Classic), Mac OS X,
+Mandriva, Minix, MS-DOS, NetBSD, NetWare, NonStop-UX, OpenBSD, OS/2,
+Plan 9, Red Hat, RISC OS, Slackware, Solaris, SuSE, Syllable, Symbian,
+Tivo (Linux), Ubuntu, VMS, VOS, WinCE, Windows
+95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/Vista, and z/OS.
+
+Recognizing the fact that ports depend on volunteer labor, the minimum
+requirements for the 1.0 launch of Parrot are portability to major
+versions of Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows released within 2 years
+prior to the 1.0 release. As we approach the 1.0 release we will
+actively seek porters for as many other platforms as possible.

As far as I known, Debian, Red Hat etc. all are Linux distributions,
so what's the
exactly mean of Linux as a different platform?

There is the potential for satisfying those requirements entirely with x86
ILP32 systems, potentially using only 2 different compilers, which wouldn't
be fab for ensuring portability :-(
I would think that Sparc Solaris, building 64 bit, would be the best single
target to aim for to increase portability spread.

Actually, I was thinking this could be accomplished with gcc only on all
of these environments. That, however, would be very bad.

Porters welcome!

During the last few releases I did, I built/tested with gcc and sun cc on the
z1.t2000... box, but it seems to be unavailable now. Is it gone?

I asked a few days ago, and was told that it's in the rack but currently
powered off, and annoyingly refusing to believe that it's connected with the
right sort of cable to do a remote power up. As the remote power up isn't
working, someone will turn it on when they next visit.
