Re: Oracle/Sybase/Informix on Linux?

Since this gets posted a lot, I'll post one of the common answers... "Theoretically", Linux can run SCO binaries (with iBCS support in the kernel, which is available from tsx-11.mit.edu). As far as I've ever heard (and definitely for Sybase), nothing like this is available specifically for Linux. Has anybody ever tried running the SCO binaries on UNIX? There is a list of database products available for Linux-- I believe that at least where the list is located is in one of the Linux FAQ's. (Interesting side note-- Word Perfect is now selling a statically linked version of their SCO product as a Linux version...)
