On what operating systems can run VLC media player ?

**Windows**
Windows 9x 98/Me	Yes (not supported)	Although it is not supported anymore, VLC should work flawlessly on Windows 98 and Windows ME. You need to install the unicode package to make it work.
Windows 2000	Yes
Windows Xp	Yes
Windows NT 4.0	Yes (not supported)	Although it is not supported anymore, VLC should work on Windows NT4.0, but with major issues due to the lack of a correct DirectX support.
Windows Vista	Yes	VLC has still some problems with Vista, but it works. Read the forum thread on that matter.

*nix
Linux	Yes	VLC works perfectly under linux. The team supports the Debian Version. However Ubuntu, Gentoo, OpenSuse, Mandriva, Fedora Core are often tested by the team, but the packages are not made by the VideoLAN team.
*BSD	Yes	VLC should work without any problem.
Solaris	Middle	VLC is buildable under Solaris after some adaptations. Reports have said that those were doable.
Other Unixes	Middle	Same as Solaris
BeOS	Yes

**Mac OS**
Mac OS 9	No	Mac OS 9 was never supported and will not be because of the deprecation of the platform.
Mac OS X (<10.2)	Yes	Use VLC 0.8.4a
Mac OS X (10.3)	Yes	Use VLC 0.8.6b
Mac OS X (>10.4)	Yes	Use any up-to-date version of VLC.

**PDA OSes**
Windows CE	Middle	You can find some version here.
Palm OS	No	No version done. Lacks a lot of features needed by VLC. Feel free to port it!
Symbian	No	No version done. Feel free to port it!

**Other OSes**
PSP	Yes unsupported	There is a port of VLC on the PSP done by an external team.
PS3	Yes	VLC runs under YDL5 on the PS3.
