We have Powerhouse ver 8.13d, with Interbase 4 as the database running on
Compaq Tru64 ver4.0f (on an Alpha box).

We are looking at moving to Interbase 6 or Sybase, updating our version of
PowerHouse and moving to another operating system.

We know that Interbase 6 or Sybase will run on Linux.

My question is:
Is anyone running Powerhouse on Linux? (will it run there?)
Any comments on its performance etc.?
Which version and flavour of linux would be recommended? (we have RedHat
already.)

Thanks
