Stan - We just jumped into RedHat & Postgres & love it. After years of MS SQL, w2k server, etc... we started a project this spring where open source server software was a must. for $600 I've got a used VALinux running apache, postgres, & php.
Postgres is really good. Fast and powerful. We now prefer it over MS SQL.
It's definitely a change in mind set, but so much cleaner and more simple than windows. Setting up PEAR was effortless. I could go on & on. Wish I'd started using linux years ago.

Markus, I've been watching them talk about that for quite some time, and would love for them to finally do that. However, I question their (mid 2003) projection, and honestly think that we windowers are going to have to wait a big longer. - Stan P.S. How is it possible for me to get the SQLite dcumentation off of CVS, I've never touched CVS before so I'm starting anew.

I've played with their current release, which you need to cygwin to run, I think I'd rather try compiling PHP w/ mySQL after that experience. It was horrible, no joke. (I would be interested in anyone who has somehow managed to get it wo work.)The next Version of PostgreSQL (7.4, I believe) is supposed to have native Windows support without the need for Cygwin and the like. I don´t know when it´s gonna be out, though. Regards, Markus
