Just to get a statistics about the players with different operating systems, I raised that poll.

Please change the poll so more than one option can be ticked. I have Oolite on both Linux boxes and M$ boxes...

Also this will certainly be true for the Devs, and for those who run multiple VMs...

Only tried OOlite on Windows so far, but have Linux and MacOS on the same lappy.

I also fancy trying out the IRIX port at some point.

Was using Debian on my old laptop, currently Windows 7 on my new laptop until I get Debian fully (or mostly) functional on my Linux partition...

I have a dual-boot laptop Win7/Ubuntu (Linux), but I prefer running Oolite on the Linux side. Ubuntu is faster overall, and not having it on Win7 (where I do my actual work) prevents it from become a distraction.

I use Windows. Is there even a need to have the "other" option? Oolite only works for the big three OSes, Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Apart from the IRIX and BSD ports.

I didn't know any such ports existed. The main web site has version for the only Win, Linux, Mac OSes.

These are the supported distributions. This is not the same thing as “only working” on those platforms; it’s portable and open source. I don’t think anyone’s done an IRIX build since 1.6x, though.

And this very BB has a section for Porting to other platforms as well. You could surf through it some day. :wink:
