I have a dedicated Linux server with a few web sites and am planning on
hosting an ElevateDB database there for one of my customers.  The next
logical step would be to offer it to others as well.

Is there anyone else that is doing this?  Is there possibly a market need
for this?  Does Elevate Software offer this?  What kind of price point would
make sense?


Any comments welcome!

a) It's a very good idea because there is a demand for this from Elevate
customers.  However, exactly how much, I can't really say.

b) Big caveat - EDB doesn't do Linux yet until the FreePascal port is
completed.

Well, I'm glad I didn't spend too much time looking for the script that's
mentioned in the documentation then.  I was wondering if I had missed
something because I didn't see it, but haven't had time to get into it
deeply yet.

I'm starting off with Windows 2008 Server in my home office.  I've got a
nice high-speed internet connection, but Verizon FiOS strictly prohibits
servers, so I don't know how long I can hide it.  Then again, port 12010
isn't widely known!

I guess I better download a copy of FreePascal.

We kept the Linux bits in the documentation because we knew that we'd be
doing a FP port sooner rather than later.

I'm looking forward to trying it out!
