Quest Yes, Host No.

VMServer does support Linux however.  The problem is that they have build 
the server to depend solely on how linux operates.  Hard coded commands, 
specifics about modules (i.e. lsmod, depmod, etc).  If they wern't so full 
of fuzz about the installation, chances are the VMServer would run under 
linux-emu on BSD.  But alas, at the moment BSD lacks the commands that 
VMServer requires.

As far as Linux goes, it runs on just about anything.... Redhat, SuSe, 
Slackware, etc.
