Quoting from a message sent by Lorenzo Benito of Atril (www.atril.com), the makers of the translation tools (CAT's) I use in my everyday work: "Linux is unable to handle file locks effectively (in what relates to remote access to Déjà Vu X databases; I do not intend to discuss the merits of Windows relative to Linux here). For this reason, sharing databases located on a Linux machine is much more likely to result in database corruption than if the database is in a windows machine." I haven't yet had the time to find out what the exact problem is, and what the differences might be between the various file systems that could be used. He also wrote: "If database access is handled by the COM+ server (Déjà Vu X Workgroup), only one application accesses the databases, so problems with file locks do not apply. Apart form this, since only the database request and its answer asre sent over the network, and the database themselves are never read directly by the client machines, using the COM+ server results in much lower network traffic." An additional problem that comes to mind in connection with integrating Windows and LTSP (or any Linux) system, is dongle protected software.
