Does SQL 2005 runs on other platforms them MS windows ?

I could not find in the documentation but someone told me that there is a way.

YOu will be able to connect to the SQL Server from any platform where you can find an appropiate driver, but the shipped client tools from MS and the service will only run on WIndows platforms.
