Another point of reference: I've been using 8i on RH 7.1 for quite a while in a research setting. The database is the TPC schema, at about 1GB of data and 2GB of index, sometimes on a single IDE disk, sometimes on 4 SCSI disks. This has worked well for me, and I expect to defend my PhD thesis based on this work next week. Oracle has given me no unusual problems with this setup since 7.1 came out. I switched to 7.1 after all my 6.2 systems had been overtaken by some sort of Linux worm, and I needed to get a system that was receiving current security updates. ++ kevin > > Rick -> We sell specifics products on Microsoft System > with SQL Server. > My job is to create new distributions based on Linux > and Oracle.
