See below for my new Sig :)

Wonders will never seaze.  IBM is a little late however since infomix 
"just typed 'make'". and started selling / giving away infomix SE for 
Linux and now has Linux programers on staff for porting other stuff.

Oracle has "Oracle Vaporware for Linux" ( due in december ) so the IBM
Port will simply seal the DB "ring of fire" around NT.

BTW : DB2 is already ported according to 4 different people@ibm.com and
they are mearly waiting for the Marketing people to decide weather it's
worthwhile to try and sell this.
