First of all, I know the Vista compatibility thread isn't quite the right place, but bear with me.

Anyway, our issue is that we have a Linux data server that we have used for the last number of years, without fault.  The stability has been great, and of course the redundancy of having our data stored on a different computer than our application and mail servers has been great (as has the decreased licensing costs!).  Anyway, the issue now is that Simply 2008 uses a proprietary MySQL 'connection manager' that needs to run on the computer that the data is stored on.

So, that leaves us in a bit of a pickle, since we have developed best practices that have included storing all of our client data in one secure place.  Simply is now telling us that won't work.   What we need now is a Linux version of the connection manager.  If Simply is based on MySQL, this shouldn't be too difficult to develop, knowing how widely used that db is.  Can we expect a Linux connection manager to be coming down the pipe any time soon?  I presume we're not the only ones out there with a Linux data server!

 
And to clarify:  We will be running the Simply program itself only on Windows computers, we just need to be able to access data stored on a Linux box.

Thanks!
