Ditto. (But what about OS X? :) Got Oracle9.2 server and client running on my RH9 desktop. Found the following link somewhat informative even though there are some weirdities: http://www.oreillynet.com/lpt/a/4141
Got the RH9 desktop machine a couple of weeks ago but am still struggling to get free of windoze. My desktop only boots redhat but my other computer is a windoze laptop with windoze and redhat 7.2 running under VMWare and I've found it to be too much of a hassle. VMWare is great but the memory requirements for a dual O/S machine, the associated complexities and general slowness were sometimes painful. With the Linux-only machine I haven't missed the MSOffice stuff much. I use the Ximian Evolution interface to MS Exchange. The problems are: MS Outlook rules are only processed when the Outlook client is running; getting calendars; and company distribution lists in Evolution. Because of this I'm still using the laptop just for MS Outlook. I think there's a way to get it to work but haven't gotten to it yet since the futz-factor quotient is up with all this stuff and I have real work that keeps interrupting me. :-) So right now my recommendation to damagement is that all IT employees should have at least 2 or 3 desktop/laptop computers to do their daily work on.

It's my primary desktop at work,with windows for those pesky apps that only run there. I guess I just like a more robust, unix-like os when I have to work on other unix systems all day. ;). The free version of redhat is now called the fedora project. This will continue to be the experimental/desktop version that is along the same line as redhat 8 & 9 -Brian Boivin, Patrice J wrote: > I am still curious to see when linux will make it on the desktop, > despite the hype now we know that Red Hat is dropping that initiative. > > Patrice. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Orr, Steve INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
