On what operating systems can run VLC media player ?

Windows
Windows 9x 98/Me Yes (not supported) Although it is now unsupported, 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 now unsupported, 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 teams support the Debian Version. But Ubuntu, Gentoo, OpenSuse, Mandriva, Fedora Core are oftenly tested by the team, but the packages are not made by the VideoLAN team.

*BSD Yes VLC should work without problems.
Solaris Middle VLC is buildable under Solaris after some adaptations.

Reports have said that those were doable.

Other Unixes Middle Same as Solaris
Mac OS
