And of course, there's the other free UNIXes - the BSDs (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD). Tragically, none of these run Oracle (FreeBSD can run Oracle in Linux emulation mode - which seems backwards at best). And there's OS X, which is Apple's UNIX, and also runs Oracle.
As far as AIX, I couldn't find an article to verify this, but I had thought IBM had announced that AIX would eventually be phased out in favor of Linux. This is not a short-term plan, obviously the existing install base of AIX precludes that. But, eventually... And if I imagined that announcement, I'd still wager money that its going to happen. :) Thanks, Matt -- Matthew Zito GridApp Systems Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 646-220-3551 Phone: 212-358-8211 x 359 http://www.gridapp.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Mladen Gogala > Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 12:24 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: RE: Re: OT - Linux books ?? > > > Well, IBM has AIX, a very solid and stable version of unix > which works really > well.
