+----[ Dr. Ross Lazarus ]--------------------------------------------- | I know that zope runs on everything else, but how do we reconcile the | DC/Sybase partnership announced late last year [ snip... ] | We're becoming a sybase/zope/linux dependent outfit; to whom should I | email my concerns - or is it time to move to another SQL backend? They picked the wrong free UNIX platform. Linux has a whole lot of machines installed, but, not too many of them would be deployed in an Enterprise environment, where people would be happy to pay money for licenses. An OS heavily promoted by one specific individual who doesn't really believe in commercial software doesn't seem like the ultimate platform to aim high-priced internet application software at. I think you'll find that Sybase the DB will still be released for Linux, just not their Internet Application Suite, which is a different kettle of fish. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|
