I've got tinymush running under Linux. The modifications to interface.c
where fairly simple since AF_UNIX sockets look alot like AF_INET sockets.
I assume it will compile without modifications under .98?
I've had problems with the buffer+cache allocation stuff, Linux seems
to give memory usage priority over buffer cache usage. The result is that
when you try to compile something it takes forever since it refuses to swap
out the mud to make room in the buffer cache :-(
