> mySQL.

> Ingres has been available on Linux for quite some time,
> but Ingres is now Open Source and Ingres Corporation
> is developing an Open Source strategy for Ingres.
>
> John Murphy will be in town and will tell us more about Ingres.
> He is also hoping to bring an associate to discuss a new
> generation of Ingres where they bundle a Linux distribution
> from rPath as part of Ingres.
