In my real life I'm an Oracle DBA, I go from company to company. I've never
come in contact with a linux box, in the for profit world (maybe I haven't
been around enough). From the standpoint of running Oracle, most companies
have HP, Sun, IBM some NT/2000, a smattering of VMS and Novell. Currently
I'm on HP.
