Sybase ASE has free editions available for Linux, as well as for other platforms.
Although Linux is an open-source product, it isn't always as free as you might have hoped: enterprise versions of RedHat and SUSE cost at least a few hunderd US$, for example (this usually includes a certain amount of technical support). Mirror of Linux distributions First, a pretty complete mirror of all Linux distros is available at ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/ -- as well as in many other places. CentOS Linux A great free distro that's essentially identical to RedHat Enterprise Linux is CentOS Linux. Sybase ASE should run without problems on CentOS Linux (don't forget to increase shmmax -- when in doubt, see Michael Peppler's FAQ and install guide). (For the record: I have no interests in CentOS whatsoever) X/OS Linux X/OS Linux used to be a great enterprise-grade Linux distribution which coudl be downloaded for free. Unfortunately, the folks behing X/OS could no longer afford to support a freely available distro. When you apply the updates to existing X/OS Linux packages, you end up with CentOS (see above). |
