Good to know free could still be an option with LINUX and Oracle. Thanks for the info..
I think one of the limitations with Oracle was the number of user connections available for a free personal use but I could be wrong on that.

Hi, There are Free and Non-Free linux distributions. You can typically use them all for commercial purposes without a problem. Scientific Linux is free, and a perfect Red Hat clone. Oracle XE is free, but has some limitations that makes it unsuitable for large installations. I do not remember exactly what those are. But you need the full Oracle Client to be able to install Remedy. The Oracle Client is also free, but you need to install both Oracle XE and the normal Oracle Client.
