I just called, cause I'm such a helpful person, talked with their support 
team, and was told this:
1) Can be run *from* Windows/Novell/AppleShare/Unix/Linux servers.
2) Can be run *on* Windows/Macintosh clients with no mods.
3) CANNOT be run *on* Linux workstations -- There is no client at this 
time, and the windows client doesn't work.
4) There are a few schools working to get the windows client running on 
Linux.  I have asked the company to forward my contact info to POCs at 
those schools.

The support guy I talked to said that they have flagged my call with the 
keyword Linux, so if any new developments happen, they'll contact me.

Guess we'll see.  I think I'm gonna order the demo CD and play with it...
