RE: linux & Oracle -- best combination

[JOE TESTA]

6000 files, what a pita, guess i'll stay with hacking rh to run oracle :)     joe >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/22/01 10:16AM >>> You can download Suse, but you have over 6,000 files to download.  It's all in a specific directory on there FTP server. On the other hand, for RH you can just download a few ISO files and burn them into CDs.  Easy. I believe that Suse Personal, with CD and manuals, is 30 bucks.  I am assuming that the personal version will run Oracle, since its seems the Pro(70 bucks) version is for clustering, etc. Chris -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 7:51 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I've not really checked out Suse, you have to buy it versus being able to get RH for free? joe Scott wrote: > > I believe that Oracle has decided that when porting to > linux all products will be ported to SuSE and then > perform post release certifications on Redhat.
