So I recently converted my work server over from Fedora Core 4 to Debian 4.0 (Etch). I figured it would be better to have an operating system that does not have a six month release cycle, that way it wouldn't be out dated and would still have support. The conversion went well, everything works, except the unixODBC and FreeTDS bridge I had on Fedora.

In my previous entry, I stated that I had an issue with PHP connecting to and talking to MSSQL (specifically SQL Server 2000). And after reading countless blog entry's, articles, white papers and just general comments and notes, taking in and absorbing all that I read, I finally managed to get it working!

Can open source play nice with Closed Source? Some would have you believe so, but I'm starting to believe differently.
