No, I don't expect that. How many times have you had an answer like that from Informix? Using first Altos then Interactive and now SCO Unix with Informix products since the beginning of the 1980's I can't remember a time there was a problem that releated to the OS. This includes using Informix OnLine 7.x. Of course I know there are such problems on some platforms. Most of the time they can be worked arround. You may have to go back to an older version (OS, database or both) or upgrade to a newer one. I see no significant problem here related to Linux. If there is a defect in the OS that Informix have a hard time working arround, I do believe the Linux community is the best there is in the world to fix it. Actually I think you will see such problems resolved faster on Linux than any other OS you can use.
