- acveilleux 11y agoAt one point I used a production proprietary DB engine last compiled in that time frame on Linux. The hoops needed to run it on semi-modern Linux was a real PITA (think chroot jail and some ld shenanigans to patch shared libs). Microsoft's backward compatibility is reallly hard to do.
