I run the web server with servlet engine on a Debian GNU-Linux
box.  The driver is neede here to support the package which
is needed by the servlet which does some manipulation on the
MS SQL server (do you expect I would build a Debian package for
MS SQL server ;-)) ).  Of course no client needs the driver if
you use a servlet.  In my opinion servlets are better to access
databases, but I'm really not an exoert and relatively new in
this field.

I havn't experiences with applets.

Kind regards
