Currently Zebra supports Linux but Solaris.

Please note Zebra is still in development stage.  There is no release
in the past.  It is the only GPLed routing software and I'm now
developing it hard.  But for real operation I recommend to use gated
or other commercial vendor's router.  After the release of Zebra I
strongly recommend to use Zebra as a operational router.  I'll tell
you when it gets ready ;-)

There is a documentation about Zebra as doc/zebra.texi which includes
in a Zebra snapshot.  It is also under development.
