I certainly won't be holding my breath waiting for Lotus to produce a
quality product, but I would think that the Linux case should be
relatively easy for them.  They're already on Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and
IRIX, so a little Makefile hacking should get them here soon enough.

Should be interesting to see which happens first: Lotus porting so that
I can install Domino, or our cromag sysadmin figuring out the NT version
so that I can use Domino.  Yes I am making book on this, odds disclosed
upon expression of interest.
