We did that once and then there were objections that it took too much space (and
it does listing them all).  So perhaps a solution is to say in the body somewhere
"and other *nixes" and have the text  be hyperlinked to a page where the others
are listed.  But is there a current list for which systems KDE 2 compiles and
works?

Ciao,
