I'll take the blame for that post.  :)

I prefer a hands-off approach to systems/database management wherever possible. 
 And BAARF, Cary Milsap in particular, make their arguments well, and can back 
them up with science and statistics.  But statistics are just that.  YMMV, or 
as every Oracle DBA should answer "It depends".

If you're an Oracle-type (I run a couple development Oracle DBs on Oracle for 
cost/comfort reasons even though it's not a "supported" Linux), I highly 
recommend Cary's book Optimizing Oracle Performance from O'Reilly w/Jeff Holt.  
Even if you're not an Oracle-type, borrow someone's or check it into your 
O'Reilly/Safari online bookshelf for a month.  There's plenty of information on 
general performance tuning decisions as it relates to your business.  And a 
bunch of math, too.  :)

Enjoy!

Rich
