Linux and Informix ... by Phil Hughes

Linux Journal, October '98, page 8

I met with Stephen Lambright, Director of Server Product Marketing in a one-on-one session.

I asked Steve how hard it was to port Informix to Linux. He told me that they just typed "make". There was not a single line of code changed to make Informix SE run on Linux.

I asked around, and apparently the port began with the Solaris version of Informix SE."

Aren't there more applications in the world written for Unix than Windows?

Any chance this is one of the reasons Bill and Paul are selling MSFT?

Microsoft apologizing? Something gives.

Just wondering. Not trying to incite any riots or spread blasphemy.

New York Times, "For Sale: Free Operating System"

nytimes.com

But Torvalds, who now works for a chip design company in Silicon Valley, insists that the true strength of an operating system is reliability.

"You use a Windows machine and the golden rule is: Save, and save often," Torvalds said. "It's scary how people have grown used to the idea that computers are unreliable when it is not the computer at all -- it's the operating system that just doesn't cut it."
