Our Totalview debugger is available for either operating system (and
supports MPI on either).

Compaq's compilers are available on either, however I believe that the
Compaq compilers on Linux do _not_ support either HPF or OpenMP. (For
HPF they like their own message passing system, and for OpenMP they
like their own thread library).

Good luck.
