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 know that this entire thread is OT and absurd (someone looking for an
"open source" option for a terminal server on the LTSP mailing list -
and he just don't know here to look :-) but it is an entirely idiotic
misunderstanding that "Linux is unable to handle file locks
effectively" and therefore prone to corruption on multi-user database
access.
