PowerHouse has not been built on Linux and is not supported there. At
present there are no plans to port PowerHouse to Linux but as always, we are
watching the market.
We have heard of customers using the SCO version to run on Linux however the
SCO version of PowerHouse has been matured so this is not a viable path, nor
is it supported.

Subject: Changing Operation systems
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
