Thanks to Wim ten Have and the dedicated, industrious folks at Sybase,
we’re getting closer to being able to deploy statsbox as a FreeBSD machine.
Earlier this week, Sybase re-released their Sybase ASE for Linux with a
relaxed license that allows it to be run on a FreeBSD machine using Linux
ABI compatibility. Plus — the really big deal — native libs for FreeBSD
which allows us to compile php and all that stuff.
I’ve spent much of today setting up a scrub installation on a box at my
house and so far it looks quite promising. A few hiccups with sqsh and
I still don’t have php talking, but it’s close.
There’s no other full-featured sql server around that’s free for both
development and deployment. It’s a hell of a deal.

(Just to be clear, I’m really enthused about this recent development.
We certainly don’t get anything for endorsing Sybase. )
