Just for the record, PowerHouse is not officially supported on LINUX. That
said, I have heard of at least one customer who used the SCO version with
apparent success however I do not know which version it was nor do I know
which database was used.
We do not have any plans to port PowerHouse to LINUX at this time. Not only
are we not sure of a market, but a port would require that our data access
services layer be available on LINUX and it is not as yet.
As an aside, if anyone is using a LINUX Web Server, the PowerHouse Web PHCGI
component is available on LINUX. It's written in C++ and doesn't need any of
the services layer. This means that you can have your Web Server on LINUX
and still run PowerHouse Web on any of our Series 8 supported platforms.

Subject: Powerhouse on Linux
Has anyone had any experiences (good or bad) with using Powerhouse
on Linux? (and possibly with Interbase 6.0 to continue the open source
theme)
