    Shawn,

    Can OptiGold "Workstation" be run on a Linux client? We are strongly considering moving to an Open Source office environment.

    No, there is no FileMaker client for Linux.

    I kind of doubt it to be honest. You can use Server on Linux, but I'm guessing the market isn't big enough for them to develop a Linux client for employee workstations running Linux.

    Probably the closest thing you will get is being able to access it via a web browser on Linux.

    I'm running OG Client under Debian GNU/Linux using Crossover Office. Runs slow, but this is better than nothing :)

    Any one knows if will be a version of OG developed for Linux ?

    I tried to run it under wine a while back with little luck, it ran, but the java plugins didn't work. Does Crossover Office allow this? Currently I run it off a Windows 2000 server, using a remote desktop client on Linux.

    What about running soemthing like VMWare on the machine and running Optigold from that?

    Probably the best way of getting it all to run on a Linux platform if they aren't going to develop Filemaker for Linux.

    Does FileMaker Pro 7 support Linux on the desktop?
    FileMaker Pro 7 does not support Linux.

    That's what Filemaker claims but I've sucessfully run Filemaker Pro 7 under 2 linux distro.
    ( Fedora Core 3 and Redhat 9 ) with the latest wine 0.9-2.

    Here's the screenshot
