With iBCS we should be able to run solaris binaries. But this requires new personality to iBCS and runtime libraries from solaris or libraries compatible with solaris. I too would like to use Notes on linux but haven't been able to find time to do anything about it. I heard rumour that Lotus has Linux version for internal use. Maybe Caldera or some other linux distributor could convince Lotus/IBM to release linux version of Notes. Shouldn't be too hard to port it from solaris to linux.
