I would be curious to see these tests going forward, seeing as RedHat
support is difficult to do with 9i and such. And suse now being Oracle's
perfered linux. I wonder if these results have changed. I never really
played with Oracle on Linux, but if I ever had to, I would be curious.

Lisa and others,
About a year ago, I was working for a company as a Linux systems
engineer (Read as: Tech guy doing sales support). Most of our customers
wanted Linux systems, and it was my responsibility to provide them the
correct combination of Linux and hardware to meet their needs. I had an ISO
9002 compliance to maintain as I provided testing and supporting data to our
clients.
My first test was RedHat linux 6.1 with Oracle 8.1.5. I don't have the
benchmarks any more, but it worked the best.
SCO Unix was bought by Caldera Linux and is not yet being implemented to the
full capability (IMHO).
Mandrake, SuSe, Storm were all tested as well, And had less satisfactory
performance and reliability.
Slackware 7 was the next best solution, followed by TurboLinux 6.
All of these configurations were tested on the same machine, completely
formatted and the same installation performed on each test cycle.
I hope this is helpful information.

SuSe is the best so I have been told. I am about to install 8i on 7.1 and
another guy here is installing 9i on 7.2.
Totally untested on my behalf as I haven't started yet but that is the best
I have been told.
Probably of no use whatsoever !!!

Sorry everyone, I know you were just discussing this recently.
What is the most stable combination of Oracle & Linux? What would you
recommend? I want to say the consensus was SCO Linux but I don't quite
remember.
Thank you
