We have supporting our GBB product family (GBB, NetEval, ChalkBox,
NetGBB, ..) on Allegro CL for Linux.  Support for builds on RedHat 5.0
notwithstanding, we (and our Linux customers) have found it to be
sufficiently robust to do serious work.  Our on-line HTTP-based
inspector facility is running 7x24 on a Linux laptop
(http://www.bbtech.com/html-inspector.html).  

We are also expecting Allegro CL 5.0 to be made available under Linux.
