TDE is theoretically capable of working on Unix-like systems, though I
don't think that has been tested for some time.  There was some interest
from at least one user of FreeBSD, but I haven't heard anything recently
on that front.

Linux is definitely the platform of choice for most TDE users, and the TDE
codebase will receive the most testing and support on that platform as a
result.
