This software is not necessarily limited to Linux, but it has not been
tested (to my knowledge) on any other platform.
Some selected quotes from the README:
IMPORTANT!
==========
Cheezmud is a toy. It is experimental. If you use it like a "real"
mud it will probably bog down or blow up. (If it doesn't, let me
know so I can brag about it.)
Why Cheezmud is Cool
====================
1. Generalized combat model.
2. Prioritized actions.
3. Fast heartbeat.
4. Has slack.
5. Lets you kill "Bob".
Why Cheezmud is Cheezy
======================
1. You can't reprogram objects at run time. Everything is compiled.
2. Many features that you may think you can't live without are not yet
supported. These include currency, sex, guilds, player classes,
player stats or abilities, quests, enter/exit, aliases for objects,
and encumbrance.
3. Cheezmud is monolithic -- it makes no sense to distribute a mudlib
separate from the mud kernel.
4. Output is hard-coded for an 80-column screen.
5. Bad coding style. The includes are especially screwed up -- I just
include everything all the time. Isn't disk caching wonderful?
6. No documentation.
