FMPro Server 5.5 on YDL?

[Don Montalvo]

It's the the FileMaker Server itself...thanks fine under RH9 (very, 
very stable), but FileMaker doesn't have plans to bring it over to 
YDL. I guess since FileMaker is owned by Apple, they want it to run 
on the MacOS.

Most of my clients are graphics houses and they've been using 
FileMaker for years...no chance of getting them onto anything else. 
To be honest, I never knew FileMaker ran on anything except MacOS and 
Windows...when I saw it running on RH9, I thought...wow, how cool...I 
gotta get this on YDL.

I wonder if terrasoftsolutions has any ideas?

:/
