Linux is nice but there are some sites that would not pass. I do not think I would ever use Linux on a site that needs 99.999% uptime. However, that is mostly a need for unbelievable hardware and automated fail over capabilities.

Long live Linux! The war is on and those who don't join this camp soon will find themselves on the losing side! :-) I did HPUX. I did Solaris. Now I'm doing Linux and life is wonderful.

Solaris 2. Solaris 3. Solaris 4. HP-UX 5. AIX 6. Digital Unix 7. SCO Unix Solaris has much better features and is more reliable as per my experience. For eg. only Solaris provides the option to use Asynchronous I/O for file systems as well as raw devices. Asynchronous I/O on HP will b used only while accessing raw devices. I think that the Oracle software is primarily written on Solaris these days.

All in all I have not been disappointed per say with Solaris (which is a good thing cause I will be working with it ALOT from here on it) but I have had far less issues with HP. -----Original Message----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 12:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Another shot across the bow: Hp-UX if you like to sleep at night Solaris if you want speed and sleepless nights Aix if neither of the above is of any value in your life Linux if both are valuable & $$$ are a consideration Dick Goulet ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Author: "Gene Sais" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 4/4/2002 9:24 AM here go the wars :) 1.
