I am in need of advice. I am developing and application that is Client/Server. The server is some UNIX box ( or Intel based machine runinf Windows NT) runing SYBASE. The Client is a Macintosh base, most likely in SmallTalk, application. That is the set up at work. I am trying to accomplish a similar setup for my house. I have already the Client, a Mac PowerPc 6100/60, and soon will be a 7100/66 (or better), but I do not have the Server. My request for advice is for the server portion of my home set up. I am going to furnish it with 2GB of disk space, and most likely about 32MB of RAM. I not only want it to run SYBASE. therefore, Windows NT, but also I would like to have some sort of UNIX/X11Rx OS runing on a different partition. I was looking at NetBSD (FreeBSD), and BSD/OS, and Linux and other, but I am not sure of what I should get. Also, I want to do some exprimentation with OODBs that hare available for free. so any advice in configurations, software products, etc, will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Fabian Schonholz.
