>Supported distros are listed here: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/linux/ids.html Using a supported engine takes all the fun out of it for JGP. Real men like JG do not read release notes or instructions. %s/men/developers/

Out of all of those listed the only one I'd pick is SuSE, if it were up to me, but of course your environment may force you into something else. SuSE would appear to be the only one having latest releases in that list. The others appear to be either older or lesser known distros. -t- Gentsch, Samuel wrote: >> Supported distros are listed here: > http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/linux/ids.html > > Using a supported engine takes all the fun out of it for JGP. > Real men like JG do not read release notes or instructions. > > %s/men/developers/
