--- Begin Message ---After just speaking with some people at Oracle, I am told that if we want Linux supported on Oracle, we must submit requests for it. Business demand will dictate whether or not it becomes a reality. The contact person that requests for Linux ports should be directed to is Nancy Liu, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please keep your requests professional in nature and try to demonstrate business uses or needs for Oracle, as this is, according to the people at Oracle, what will cause action the most quickly. According to a person inside Oracle, off the record, the main reason that Oracle hasn't been delivered for Linux is because of the usual free OS snobbery and the misguided concept that Linux is still just a hack. I've also heard a rumor that Oracle has internally been ported to Linux, but that management refuses to allow it to be released. Again, this is only a rumor, it could be completely false. The idea that Oracle can run under a dead OS like SCO demonstrates that Oracle could very likely be run successfully under Linux. Rally support! It'll never happen without it! --Chris
