Well, don't expect it to run straight out of the box. You'll probably have
to get some libraries, recompile, and fiddle with the code to get it to
compile. One thing though: it patches the kernel on most machines, which
would require some pretty Linux-specific code IMO. It would be a very major
undertaking to port MOL to OpenBSD, but I'm sure it would be appreciated.
Best of luck,
