Hi Guys,
I hope this isn't too stupid a question, but I have a db that needs to be accessed from several workstations. It is currently a split db, with the backend residing on one of the workstations in the workgroup. I was wondering if it possible (as I am looking at buying a server) to "house" the backend on a Linux machine? The main reason I ask is that Linux is <$100, but MS Server is >$1000. Does the server need to be able to run the program? If yes, is there any way around this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
