Kevin,

For starters, please do not use your mail software's "reply" function to 
generate new topics. It causes your posting to appear to be part of 
another thread. Changing the subject is not sufficient to break this 
association in good mailers that use the pertinent header fields to 
recognize and organize topic threads.

I would gather from the fact there's a whole mailing list 
(<http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-informix/>) devoted to Informix on 
SuSE that the answer is probably "yes." Check it out (the list 
archives) to see for sure. ... On the other hand, the list appears 
rather moribund. A quick glance at the Informix site showed that it's 
supported for SLES, which suggests it might work for SuSE Linux 10, but 
it's by no means certain unless someone produces a build specifically 
for this version of Linux.

PostgreSQL 8.0 and MySQL 4.1 are included.

I don't know for a fact, but I would be surprised if that gave you any 
trouble.

Yes, though a small deviation from the normal installation procedure is 
required to make it work correctly.

Here's the modified installation and setup procedure you need to make 
VMware 5.0 work on SuSE Linux 10.0:

They all work fine.

The commercial version includes Adobe Reader (for PDF viewing) as well 
as Sun's Java (including plug-ins). I'm pretty sure I did not have to 
do an independent installation of the Flash plug-in.
