Subject Re: [ib-support] OT? - Interbase 6.01 on Linux (How do I do this?)
Author Lista de Discução Interbase
Hello,

Waht kind of problems did you have with RedHat ?

I am using in development here for 1 1/2 year

And in some customers (small sites up to 20 users) without problems, until
now, but you scare me now.... :-(

Believe it or not, I have one costumer with 15 users and the server is a
non server machine, it's run on a Win98 machine. I think they are very,
very lucky since they have no problems with a crazy thing like that. Could
you believe that some people think a computer with "no one" at the keyboard
is waste of money ? (I HATE THIS!!!)

Finally, I have convinced him to buy a server.
