I have never installed the linux compatibility on a any of my FreeBSD boxes (mostly in fear that it would effect the performance). But I have now run across a need to do so with IBM's DB2 Connect ADO. Does installing the linux compatibility effect FreeBSD's server performance at all?

Thank you for the article refrence!!! I have been scouring the net for DB2 connect installations on UNIX and have only found three that all pertained to Linux. BSD Today articles are always great, but I have yet to find a way to search through back articles on their site.
Thanks again ... this should really help me out.

I want to (I must) install Progress RDBMS server on my FreeBSD box, and it requires Java...
Thanks to all...
