Platforms
BitKeeper works well on all of the supported platforms, with the only differences being either performance related (due to the file system) or operating system related (no symbolic links on Win32 platforms). When asked, we tend to recommend Linux as the platform of choice; BitKeeper makes extensive use of the file system and Linux has the the best file system for this application.

The list of supported platforms is currently:

  • AIX 4.1.5 and later on PPC
  • FreeBSD 2.x, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x on x86
  • HPUX 11.11 and later on PARISC
  • IRIX 6.5 and later on MIPS (to be phased out in bk-5.0)
  • Linux/Alpha (64bit)
  • Linux/IA64 (Intel 64bit Itanium)
  • Linux/MIPS (Sibyte)
  • Linux/PARISC (HP RISC platforms)
  • Linux/PPC
  • Linux/S390
  • Linux/SPARC
  • Linux/x86 (x86, AMD, Cyrix, etc)
  • Linux/x86-64 (AMD Opterons, etc)
  • MacOS X on PPC and x86
  • NetBSD 1.5 on x86
  • OpenBSD 2.7 on x86
  • SCO OpenServer Release 5 on x86
  • Solaris 5.6 and later on SPARC
  • Solaris 5.7 and later on x86
  • Windows 2000
  • Windows 2000 Server
  • Windows 2000 Advanced Server
  • Windows 2003
  • Windows XP
  • Windows Vista (32 bit only)

Please contact us for more information if your platform is not currently supported. We will add support for any POSIX compliant platform for a 50 or more seat sale provided that the system is readily available and is not prohibitively expensive. Tru64 Unix on Alpha support was phased out due to lack of commercial interest but could be brought back for a commercial customer.
