On the other hand, Filemaker does support external database references to Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL Server, and generic ODBC/JDBC sources, so if the question is whether you can store the DATA on a Linux guest, then yes, you could have Linux interact quite nicely with Filemaker front ends, and you could easily store the Filemaker code and application on AFP or Samba shares. You could also just use the AFP code in netatalk to provide a sharepoint for the file, which would work fine. In fact, the shared MySQL database would probably be an improvement over just sharing the Filemaker file. As to the actual application running there, PearPC would probably do it, or bochs. Slow, but it would probably work. I'd do the data sharing, myself, and leave the app on the clients or a VMWare instance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
