Yep, that is the progression of steps, VFP apps w/PostgreSQL on Windows, VFP apps w/PostgreSQL on Linux, next migrate to Python and Dabo. Once I become proficient with the utility apps I will start to migrate my End User commercial apps to Python/Dabo, using PostgreSQL on a Linux Server. I am also working with VirtualBox running Windows XP SP2 under Ubuntu Linux for my Must Use Windows apps. > I think there are a lot of people on this > list that are planning or thinking about doing that.

Once I get more comfortable with using it I may start to build a few power tools to create PostgreSQL tables from .dbf structures. I figure I can learn a lot by building those tools myself as opposed to looking for something someone has already built. I am not in a time crunch to get this all done, so I can afford to chip away while providing support for my current users. For the most part my clients do not have any idea of the direction I am taking (other than Dave Smith, who participates in ProFox). Thus far it is affecting nobody who has been using my apps in a direct sense, and the benefit will likely be felt by newer clients initially, as many of my client are already invested in Windows Server technology. And, for that matter, this change will not likely have much impact on client using their own local Servers anyway, just the ones who will be relying on Internet connections to my machinery for any number of reasons.
