I also had heard that Informix runs on Linux, if you had the correct kernel and iBSD. actually Linux has a iBSD and fully suports Filesystems for SCO, so if Informix runs on SCO it would run on Linux. If any of you had ever tried it, please let me know! Carlo. an email response will be prefered, please email to carenas@usa.net. Thanks.
