<title>Supported Platforms</title>

<para>Nix is currently supported on the following platforms:

<itemizedlist>

  <listitem><para>Linux (i686, x86_64).</para></listitem>

  <listitem><para>Mac OS X (x86_64).</para></listitem>

  <!--
  <listitem><para>FreeBSD (only tested on Intel).</para></listitem>
  -->

  <!--
  <listitem><para>Windows through <link
  xlink:href="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</link>.</para>

  <warning><para>On Cygwin, Nix <emphasis>must</emphasis> be installed
  on an NTFS partition.  It will not work correctly on a FAT
  partition.</para></warning>

  </listitem>
  -->

</itemizedlist>

</para>

<para>Nix is pretty portable, so it should work on most other Unix
platforms as well.</para>
