Progress installation in Linux Redhat

[SIM YC]

Hi All,

I'm thinking to install a database server and webserver (wepspeed trans. server) in a linux machine. Do I need to get a different CD from Progress for linux, or I can use my existing 9.1 B set for windows??

Thanks for any reply

There are two answers for this:

SHORT
=====
You need a different CD and licenses

LONG
====
(Hope this doesn't violate license issues)
You can get a copy of VmWare (www.vmware.com) and install it on Linux and then install NT inside that and then install Progress. It does work but it runs like a DOG!!

Therefore, I'd get new licenses

Hope that helps,

Murray

Actually I take it back it doesn't run like a DOG :dead: . Its runs ok (sorry its very earily in australia). I have run servers and GUI sessions on VmWare / Progress / NT and 98 successfully for demos and I'd recommend it for people who want one laptop. Linux for the servers and NT for the GUI/Web. I used a PIII 700, 512Mb RAM and 14Gb of HDD. The more RAM the better.

I would not recommend running production this way .. maybe on VmWare's GX (??) server but probably not on VmWare.

Sorry for the slip up .. in short it does run ok.
