About the (on linux) comment:

Linux is the default evironment.  Most of our apps only work on Linux, in one 
way or another.  Half of our _directories_ are linux-specific (the console 
directory, the init directory, the linux module utilities, the linux system 
utilities, our process utilities are /proc based, I have no idea what other 
platforms do for syslogd.  In theory e2fsprogs and debian utilities could 
compile for non-linux, but that's a clear port _from_ Linux in that case.)

Most of the rest is sprinkled with Linux stuff.  The archival directory has 
rpm and deb utilities, login has vlock, miscutils has devfsd, eject, 
hdparm...

All of this stuff is "on linux".  That's the default assumption.

not to.)
