There are surely many more (say, 100x) people asking for a "portable"
version for Windows (and we have WinPenPack already available, and I
hope PortableApps will join soon) than people asking for a BSD, Solaris
or OS/2 port. So I feel that removing portable versions would be a
disservice to users.
Actually I don't know how many other distributions are there, but the
only requests I've seen so far on mailing lists and forums are for
portable versions and, to a smaller extent, for versions compatible with
older Linux glibc versions (and Ariel provided those too, on his
personal web space, and I believe they should be listed on the same page
too).

Andrea.
