Sorry about top posting. Though I can understand Jonathan’s feelings, I am with Frank on this subject. So, I will keep participating in “non-CentOS” discussions which may be useful to CentOS refugees, until I’m kicked out of the list, or such discussions become forcefully banned. As this -

Good afternoon everyone, hope you all are well. Apologies if this is considered unwelcome -- asking oracle question in centos group -- but a lot of centos Vs oracle is going on here so hoping this will not be shot down. I am unable to access any of the oracle documentation I need, as it keeps on
