It's freely downloadable from a number of sites, including www.redhat.com and www.caldera.com. We've already deployed a commercial product that utilizes Sybase on Linux as the database core. The rest of the system is built using Apache, PHP3, and Peppler's DBI::Sybase for Perl. No problems at all so far and it outperforms the old MS SQL 6.5 on NT 4.0 solution in just about every way imaginable. gregory travis Cornerstone Information Systems www.ciswired.com -- gregory travis |"If you're going to kill someone there isn't much reason greg@littlebear.com|to get angry.
