I'm still going to test with "SQL server 2008 enterprise", but the MSDN
servers are having some issues and so far I have been unable to download
it.

Yeah, I'm not a fan either. Here's what I did to test in linux (maybe
it'll be useful to someone):

* Install LAMPP in linux
* Virtualise Windows in Virtualbox OSE
* Install MSSQL in the virtual machine
* Set the network interface of the VM to "host-only" and give it a
static IP
* Use FreeTDS to add the "mssql_*" functions to your linux PHP
intallation

That's it, it should now be possible to connect to the MSSQL server that
is running in the VM by specifying the static IP in the geeklog
installer (virtualbox defaults to 192.168.56.101).
