We are currently running the Netscape Communications server on a BSDI
Unix box. We are pleased with this box, but there are some notable bugs
or missing features in the server software. Netscape seems to have
dropped support quietly for BSDI. There is no mention of it for the
FastTrack or Enterprise server software. No one at Netscape has ever
answered any of my emails where I ask if they plan to support BSDI. The
phone support person told me I would have to talk to BSDI. Sounds to me
like they have dropped support. Anyone know the story?
