Re: Why not IBM's Linux

[Ferguson, Neale]

People having trouble installing Oracle 9i Developers' on
their systems are told that only SuSE SLES7 is what
they'll get help with on their Linux Oracle forum. Thus,
if you want to evaluate Oracle you can't do it by picking
up the freely available 7.0. This may lead to a situation
where you need to evaluate Oracle to show your management
that Linux is viable but you can't demonstrate it without
having established its viable so you can get someone to
pay for it. Catch 22.
