INTERNET SQL

Hey, what do you know about NT servers as compared to UNIX
servers for the internet?   I want to use a database on line for
a new business venture I am starting.  I could use Foxpro on an NT
server or even SQL7, on the UNIX side I would use mySQL.
This issues are number of users and speed.

Jim,

 Don't go with FoxPro.  Use a "proper" client-server database.  Choose the o/s
and hardware you're happier with.  There are plenty of good dbms products that
scale to 99.9% of business requirements.

 If you know
