I'd seen that, and plan on trying to get it working on a 4.0-RELEASE box
that I have. How has IB changed since 4.0? Has it gained significanlty
more functionality? I was also wondering if the PHP bindings work with
6.0B, I guess I should consider building a Linux box to give it a try. If
anyone one of developers sees this, please consider it. A large number of
people rely on BSD as a server platform, it just doesn't get the hype that
Linux does.

There has been a port of IB to FreeBSD previously by a Japanese company (I
think) I feel we should try to find out a bit more with regards to this port
or many IB evangelists *WILL* port it to the real *NIXes FreeBSD AFAIK.

Apologies in advance if this has been asked already, but has anyone on the
project tried to get the IB server components to build under *BSD? I'm no
expert on UNIX porting, so I'm afraid I wouldn't have much to offer but a
decent test environment and a willingness to do documentation. I am very
excited by the prospect of IB going Open Source though. I currently use
MySQL to backend all of my web servers, but it's lack of a full SQL syntax
has reared its ugly head again and again. I also tried PostgreSQL and found
it wanting. I've played with IB on NT (yuck!) and it seems very capable.
Bravo to the development team on their product.
