Can you run SQL Server on a Linux Redhat server?

I doubt it. Even if you could do it, you'd probably have some sort of emulation software, and performance would not be very good.

For Linux, I'd suggest mySQL, but it doesn't have everything that SQL server has.

No, I tried it before, but maybe I was using a lower version and they've come up with a version that allows this or simple messed up with installation

SQL Server is pretty much Windows platform dependent. If Linux/Unix is a requirement, mySQL as Michael suggested is an option, or for more enterprise options, you could go with (gasp!) Oracle (at least it works on Unix, I'm guessing it will work on Linux, too).

No, you can't do this.

Thanks,
