Microsoft has released an official ODBC driver for linux:

Just figured some people might be interested in that. They say RedHat
is required, but I'm hoping that a non-RH system with the necessary
packages will work just as well.

Thanks Randy.

This might be very good news. A lot of bugs reported seem to be related to FreeTDS. Though I must say later releases have improved a lot.

Here is a link from microsoft.com, though a Google search might be better in case there are other versions (32-bit vs 64-bit, etc.)
