RE: RE: Linux taking over at Oracle
There are rumors that Red Hat is buying Microsoft? -Original Message- Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 11:16 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Steve, As one of the GREAT MicroSlop bashers, I pray you are more than correct.

The problem is the cost of Oracle on a Linux box. One reason I've been playing around with PostGres. I can't say I like it as much, but you really can't beat the price tag. DickG. Reply Separator Author: Orr; Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2/1/2002 7:55 AM On a contrarian note with all the Larry hype aside... Linux is much more that just a fad.

Linux/Intel is a proven production quality platform and having worked with Linux/Oracle servers for over a year now I conclude that the Linux revolution is not going away like just another fad.

RE: RE: Linux taking over at Oracle
It's not a rumor, it's true...MS is letting themselves become aquired by Red Hat, they figure that all the lawsuits will have to be dropped, and there going to put the Windows GUI onto RH Linux.
