That is not a lot of difference in hosting a database on a linux or windows file server.
The mechanics are different but the end results are the same. You have a file server that knows how to share files to end users. The problem is in running the application. You need linux code to run on a linux client, windows code to run on a windows client. So running your windows box with windows rbase installed using a database that lives on a linux files server is not a very big deal and is relativly easy to set up. The problem is when you want to use a linux client.

Has anyone tried putting the rbase database files in a linux box and accessing that database from a network station that has, say dos or windows versions of rbase and all the associated application and command files? Kind of analagous to using windows browsers to access internet files from linux servers? bill Fred Antrobus wrote: >Hello Bill, > >I am always lurking... > >I keep pestering Razzak to let me beta the R:Linux version > >and occasionally I have something to add. > >Fred > > >------ Original Message ------ >Received: Thu, 05 Oct 2006 04:15:19 PM PDT >From: Bill Downall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [email protected] (RBASE-L Mailing List) >Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Announcing R:Documenter 7.5 > >Whoa!
