I work for a company which is a heavy user of Tibco's Rendezvous messaging software - not uncommon in and around Wall Street, and increasingly common elsewhere. I came to my attention (when I was installing Rendezvous on my desktop machine in the office) that there is a native FreeBSD version. That surprised me a little (on reflection, I know that Yahoo uses it, so maybe that helps to explain it) but what surprised me more was that the freebsd.org site has no references to it (Tibco isn't listed in the vendors page(s)) nor could I find any mailing list references. There isn't even a Port. (OK - I know, 'make one', I'll give it a go) Why so quiet? Here is a commercial product, natively supported on FreeBSD, without a linux version, that is a key component of a great deal of high- priced commercial developments.
