>Linux already has a slew of good DBMS backends. RedHat Linux ships with PostgreSQL - which runs very well, for free. You get the source to it and everything. Other free or commercial RDBMS's are available.

The problem with the databases on Linux is that you need to program in C or soe low level language to get them to work.

I think even a Clipper like compiler would be a big help.

>btw: linux is my specialty (UNIX, more generically). I've been admin'ing and coding, and recently kernel hacking for a number of years (since I was 17, OK :)
I enjoy fox, and it is the ONLY language I have any interest in working on under Windowz.

I have some questions if you don't mind?

Which X desktop are you using?

I bought a second 6G drive to install RedHat Linux on (My 1st drive is Win95). I want to partition the second drive 50% Linux and 50% Win. Do you recommend using LILO to boot the OSes or use a DOS executable? Also, can Linux see the Win95 partitions like regular directories or do I need to install Samba

Thanks
