John, Linux main market is the server market with +/-10% of the market. Desktop market is still very small at +/-1% (Fortune, Europe Edition, Feb 2003). You can run VFP app on the users Windows desktop connecting to a database on Linux server as Al explained.


>Hi Al
>Thank you for that insight, The question arose because of my concern of an ever growing move towards Linux which I feel is accelerating. I guess we can only hope as time and demand goes on that Samba and others like it will get more solid.
>I have to comment on Vendow support as I have never had any luck in that department anyway and have tended to keep plugging away with my own workarounds and those of my peers
>Cheers
