Small Scale Sybase Database Now Free for Linux

pv_sapl writes This Slashdot article informed me that Sybase is releasing for free (as in beer) Enterprise Database for Linux. There are limitations of course, and they are: 1cpu, 2gigs of ram, and a 5gig database size. Although I find this in the similar vein of Microsoft‘s MSDE, the potential for smaller libraries to be able to buy into Horizon a lot more attractive. That assumes naturally that Dynix gets such license permisions from Sybase. And don’t forget about Linux emulation, meaning you can try to run this Enterprise Database on other Operating Systems..”
