As a matter of interest, the Aleph system (from Ex Libris, just purchased by
SUNY) lists Linux as an available platform. They say this is aimed at the
small end of the library market.

We just had them here, demonstrating, and they used two laptops -- one NT
workstation, the other running Linux as the server.

Come to think of it, their Linux port may have been done just so they could
carry around a fully featured Aleph system for demos. :-)
