gidday,

im intending to install FreeBSD on my PC this coming weekend, for three
reasons
	1. i want/need a unix OS
	2. FreeBSD seems to be the better option over Linux
	3. i want to run an Informix V5.x database

Question ?
Has anyone installed an Informix DB on FreeBSD before ?
If so pls let me know any tricks etc that will ensure a successfull
installation.

i have heard that FreeBSD is SCO compatible, is this so ?
if so, is all i need a version of Informix ported for SCO ?

thanks in advance
Darren Edgerton
