I have no problems with Linux doing sendmail, DNS, Apache and some other services. But when it comes to an Informix DB and multiple CPU (SMP) I do wonder if it is the right choice. Just the fact that IBM has yet to fix the SDK for Linux to allow programs like PHP to compile makes me wonder how serious they are about Informix and Linux. The problem has existed for over a year and no fix. Gary Quiring
