>I was wondering if anyone out there is experimenting with Linux as a server or desktop? Now with all the major DB vendors supporting it (except MS of course) it may be an opportunity for a Foxpro clone for that platform. Maybe Inprise (Borland) can port their dBASE.

A better idea might be to dust-off SCO/FoxBase. That baby worked GREAT under SCO Xenix (a UNIX variant) and was totally source and DBF compatible with DOS versions. But, then again, if Linux is your server what the heck does it matter what your front-end is, and you're better off using a server database.
