Re: Running SE on Linux
The great Billy couldn't help you? :-) I don't know too much about Linux, but I think this has been answered in this group some time ago. Try to search at www.dejanews.com, www.altavista.com or in the library at www.iiug.org for any mention of Linux in this newsgroup. Otherwise there are Linux sites on the web that might have the answer, and sertainly linux newsgroups where people do know the answer. I am quite sure it is possible to make Informix SE run on Linux, although not supported from Informix.
