 After shying away from the Linux platform for several months,
 Informix Corp. will do an about face at its international users
 conference in Seattle this week. Archrival Oracle Corp. is
 expected to put its stamp on approval on Linux this week as
 well, by announcing plans to do a Linux port of its Oracle
 database, according to sources.

Ooh. We're getting some serious company. Wonder if they'll be able to
catch up with Postgres :)

Ingres II is going to release on Linux too.  So now we have Informix,
Oracle, and Ingres to compete with.  Yikes.

    Compete with?  They are all releasing free versions for Linux, vs
the 10's of thousands of dollars they cost for the other operating
systems? :)
