[CLUE-Tech] Oracle on Linux in production?

[Keith Hellman]

I too have been investigating the best Database for a production system -
you may have been at the Oracle seminar yesterday at the Hyatt?  They 
definetly have some nifty features, but it sounds like you aren't going to

be needing all of them...

Oh yeah, my point:  you should definetly check-out SuSE & Red Hat - they
both support Oracle, and from the reading I've been doing it sounds like
both companies have done *special* things to the kernel to enhance their
Big-Enterprise-Support.

In about a month I should have some fresh experience with Oracle 9i on
SuSE linux... your post is unfortunately a little to soon :-)
