Linux offers a low cost of install and support versus Microsoft Windows, and most of all, a great resistance to spam, virus, etc. I did not see any mention on the ssa site of a Baan BW client for a linux desktop workstation.

Has anyone used it with xwindows or Gnome, or KDE?

You can explore using WINE for running Bw on Linux. I had tried it once long back. It worked on SUSE 8.0 only with the problem of fonts, though I did not test it fully.

SSAs Linux client is Webtop. Works like a charm.

Here is the rephrase of the question.
Our Baan host is on AIX. No changes there. We run version 4c4.


Our Baan clients are installed on either on w2k or windows xp. We have significant software that we use for bar code scanning.

My question, is, "Has anyone member of this board used a Baan linux client with version 4c4?"

(Added by moderator: this means setup a BX client setup on a Linux client to connect to a server, the thread title makes it confusing since BW is not BX)

there is no need to install it on the linux client - just rexec or ssh -X to the server calling a script setting up the envirement and then starting the bx-client.

Works fine - we use it on different thin-Clients.

Hi,
it's to simple to call it script. It's something like
----------------------------------------
# Setup baan environment
export BSE=??
export BSE_TMP=??
# Setup Database environment (if needed)
export ORACLE_HOME=??
...
...
export USER=??

# now call bx
$BSE/bin/bx6.1

#That's all
---------------------------------------------

From the Linux-Client call this script with rexec or ssh
