Best Linux distro for Cheetah (and also the older

Hi, We are planning to squeeze our Cheetah on Windows for a set of virtual systems on Linux. The core system is running Ubuntu and all the virtualized systems will be Linux's. It works fine, I have installed Cheetah on the Ubuntu box and here starts problems. DB-Access complains about terminal. We cannot connect to the server with Java (there is no firewall). So after all, I wonder if Ubuntu is a great distro for Cheetah. What would you recommend? What are you guys using? Thanks Jgp (sorry for cross posts but to get those kind of info on week-ends. ;-) )

Hi Jean Georges, We are not end-user, but we are using java sql client(s) (e.g. aqua studio) and we are happy (even if you have firewall and ssh access - you can tunnel connection). For dbaccess, you have to set TERMCAP env variable: export TERMCAP=$INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap Of course, you have to set TERM env variable to appropriate value (in my case of gui x installation) export TERM=xterm IMHO Ubuntu is very promising platform.

dbaccess should work if you assign TERMCAP to $INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap What you mean about not connecting with java ? I can easily. > Hi, > > We are planning to squeeze our Cheetah on Windows for a set of virtual > systems on Linux.
