" The Oracle DBA indicates that Oracle is easier to implement under Red Hat" - 
I'm interested in what this means precisely, as we should be pretty similar in 
each environment - we only have the one code set and installer. If there are 
significant differences that people are finding (on Z) then I'm happy to look 
into it.

Cheers

I am getting started in the use of zVM and zLinux.  I have purchased a license 
for SLES and have also installed Red Hat under test for an Oracle database.  
Everything I have installed is currently under test.  We are looking at 
revamping what we have.  I would like to pose a few questions.

There is the prospect of Novell being purchased by Attachmate.  I understand 
that in the past SLES has been more responsive to the x390 platform.

If you were just starting out, would you use Red Hat instead of SLES??

Are there other more pressing reasons to choose one over the other??

The Oracle DBA indicates that Oracle is easier to implement under Red Hat.  How 
hard would it be to manage both distributions??
