I tried to install it once, a long time ago (around 2000?). Linux was already taking off, BSD's had the possibility to overtake it, other unices were made available more for the end user. But basically, the hardware support was pretty bad. It took me a long time to find a SCSI controller which was supported, when ATA disks were already standard for years. Same with network- oder graphic cards. Nowadays, if esoteric OS's would just support standard Vmware hardware, they'd be much more successful (looking at you fuchsia!)
