O'Reilly has an article on running Oracle9iR2 database on RedHat Linux 9. There are some things to be done to make it run smoothly though, such as tweaking kernel parameters in /proc and replacement of the C library with the patched version. Caveat emptor. As you might already know, Oracle has explicit support for RedHat's Enterprise AS (formerly known as RH AS) and ES, as well as those offerings from UnitedLinux (SuSE, TurboLinux, Conectiva, and gasp.. SCO). You may be able to run Oracle on other distributions, but be prepared to forfeit technical support. I'd also recommend to check if you really, really, really need an Oracle-based deployment (my apologies to Oracle and their users), as deploying such doesn't come really cheap. If such setup which would drive down operating costs and increase long term operational productivity can be provided by free and/or open source DBMS, why not use them? -- -->paolo Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________ Philippine Free Network Group free.net.ph -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
