Can an Access Database Back End be run from a Linux Server?

R

Richard Horne

I have a database split into a front and back end. All users keep a copy of
the front end on their PC which connects to the back end on our 'server'.

But as our server is just a windows XP Pro machine we are simply connecting
through Peer to Peer on MSHOME. But this doesn't allow for more than 10
people to connect to the back end. So I am considering setting up a dedicated
proper server, and am contemplating using Linux.

Is this possible? Can an Access Back End sit on a Linux server and be
accessed by our PCs? Or do I need to use windows Server instead?
