Yeah, the other thing, 6000 files which consist of 500Mb is about 10x slower to download than 1 file which is 600Mb The TCP protocol, ramps, which means, it gets up to speed within the first few seconds of delivery, when your downloading many small files, your bandwidth is cut down by 10 fold if not more.

Re: linux Oracle -- best combination
I believe that Oracle has decided that when porting to linux all products will be ported to SuSE and then perform post release certifications on Redhat. I believe stability and support of multiple Linux distributions was a factor in this decision. I run both Redhat and SuSE and I actually perfer SuSE. SuSE has a lot of packages it distributes with there product. The only thing is the SuSE wont create ISO images for download and Redhat will.
