thats ok with HPUX, AIX and Irix as far as I remember. I should
undust my Irix box that Joerg did the development on remotely and
test that

Those using debilian etc should know the specialties of their preferres
OS, esp since thos who use the schily-tools suite should have better
knowledge in systems usage anyway so, stay UNIX compatible.
A hint that things on linux systems are different should fit the case.
There are by far more technical issues and compatibility is one of them.
We are looking forward to re-setup Joergs old testsuite. Much of the
boxes he remotely developed on, are mine an some did suffer from a power
outage.
