My advise is to slow down and don't panic.  FreeTDS will allow you to get 
at your MSSQL Server data from the linux box.

The setup instructions are all in the INSTALL & README files.  You'll 
find some pointers in the FAQ at www.freetds.org  Heed the advice to pick 
up the latest CVS version in lieu of the 0.5 "release".
