With iBCS we should be able to run solaris binaries. But this requires
new personality to iBCS and runtime libraries from solaris or libraries
compatible with solaris. I too would like to use Notes on linux but
haven't been able to find time to do anything about it. I heard rumour
that Lotus has Linux version for internal use. Maybe Caldera or
some other linux distributor could convince Lotus/IBM to release linux
version of Notes. Shouldn't be too hard to port it from solaris to linux.
