I just want to check what servers people are using for their networked VFP app and any problems (or not) they have had.
I've had no issues hosting fox data on Linux/Samba since moving to it in the NT4 days when we had regular index corruption. The workstations connecting have gradually been replaced with newer and newer machines, the latest running Windows 10 and the oldest running Win2k (yeah, really). Still no serving issues however the newer versions of Windows needed some (well documented) registry tweaks that, depending on your setup, you won't even need to worry about.
I really wish I could shoot it in the head though and move them to postgres. Hosting business-critical data on smb has been killing me a little every day for more than a decade.
