As a long-time Linux user, I've found that the piracy rate -> 0, especially as compared to the NT crowd. Seriously, there's mSQL, there's gnu SQL, there are a lot of free database packages which allow one to get one's feet wet and learn something about databases, which, I would imagine, is the main reason behind database piracy in the first place. Very few companies would run pirated software because of the legal exposure, and for individuals, it is much easier to download the freely available databases (or to get them off of your Linux CDROM) than it is to troll through the warez groups. I'm reading this thread with interest, and I'll go ahead and say: I want a (supported) Linux port. -- Todd Graham Lewis Linux!
