-@cindex Linux
-Tinc was first written for Linux running on an intel x86 processor, so
-this is the best supported platform. The protocol however, and actually
-anything about tinc, has been rewritten to support random byte ordering
-and arbitrary word length. So in theory it should run on other
-processors that Linux runs on. It has already been verified to run on
-alpha and sparc processors as well.
-
-Tinc uses the ethertap device or the universal tun/tap driver. The former is provided in the standard kernel
-from version 2.1.60 up to 2.3.x, but has been replaced in favour of the tun/tap driver in kernel versions 2.4.0 and later.

-
-@cindex FreeBSD
-Tinc on FreeBSD relies on the universal tun/tap driver for its data
-acquisition from the kernel. Therefore, tinc will work on the same platforms
-as this driver. These are: FreeBSD 3.x, 4.x, 5.x.

-@subsection OpenBSD
-
-@cindex OpenBSD
-Tinc on OpenBSD relies on the tun driver for its data
-acquisition from the kernel. It has been verified to work under at least OpenBSD 2.9.
-There is also a kernel patch from @uref{http://diehard.n-r-g.com/stuff/openbsd/}
-which adds a tap device to OpenBSD.
-This should work with tinc.
-
-Tunneling IPv6 packets may not work on OpenBSD.

-Tinc on NetBSD relies on the tun driver for its data
-acquisition from the kernel. It has been verified to work under at least NetBSD 1.5.2.

-Tunneling IPv6 may not work on OpenBSD.

-
-@cindex Solaris
-Tinc on Solaris relies on the universal tun/tap driver for its data
-acquisition from the kernel. Therefore, tinc will work on the same platforms
-as this driver. It has been verified to work under Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8).

-@subsection Darwin (MacOS/X)
-
-@cindex Darwin
-@cindex MacOS/X
-Tinc on Darwin relies on a tunnel driver for its data acquisition from the kernel.
-Tinc supports either the driver from @uref{http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~nissler/tuntap/},
-which supports both tun and tap style devices,
-and also the driver from from @uref{http://chrisp.de/en/projects/tunnel.html}.
-The former driver is recommended.

-@subsection Windows
-
-@cindex Windows
-Tinc on Windows relies on the TAP-Win32 driver (as shipped by OpenVPN) for its data acquisition from the kernel.
-This driver is not part of Windows but can be downloaded from @uref{http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/}.
