I received a message back from Informix and they said that it appears
that it will run on RH5.0/5.1 without trouble, since the libc5 libraries
are present. This is based on reports from users since they have not
finished testing it themselves yet. It already officially runs on RH4.2.

I haven't had a chance to try running it myself yet.

I would like to point out that Informix SE for Linux is available TODAY
from our website. Oracle for Linux is planned for the end of the year.

I think our shipping SE version beats their latest and greatest vapor. ;-)

Yes, but it is a shame Informix is coming as a "me too" to Linux, rather
than leading the pack.  Now that they have decided to release the port,
it is a shame they did not release it six months ago, so they looked
more like a leader.
