Hi Robert, I guess this is pretty well documented elsewhere on the Ibphoenix site, but you will face a number of issues, all quite easy to resolve. In no particular order you need to address: UDFs they are different and have a suffix .so, not .dll. visibility of the database - who 'owns' it is different in Linux. what tools do you use to maintain the database? Flamerobin is popular, but others are available; I use Ibexpert, paid for, but there is a free version. You would run this on a Windows machine targeting a remote database.
As an example, I copied a customer database to a Raspberry PI running a version of Linux from a dual Xeon machine running MS Server and after about 1/2 hour it was all up and running. It just took a bit of investigation about user rights, udfs. Good luck.
