RE: [MLUG] Redhat and Oracle

["Dooley, Ryan" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hey Denis and all,

RHAS (Advanced Server) starts at $895/year.  We're building a three node
9i cluster (well two nodes and a devel box).  I know that you can get 9i
to run on a lesser (unsupported version).  At that point, Google is your
friend.

The alternative choice is SuSE Enterprise for which 9i is also certified
and it doesn't have the same high cost associated with it.

Cheers,
	Ryan

Subject: [MLUG] Redhat and Oracle

We will be trying out Oracle on Redhat Linux in the very near future,
and the information I see on the Oracle site is that 9i is only
certified to work with Redhat Advanced Server 2.1 (8i I think was
certified on 7.2).

Is anyone using Oracle 9i on a Redhat 7.3 platform?  Is Advanced Server
2.1 worth the additional cost? Has anyone installed it on a laptop (for
developmental and demonstration uses)?

Sybase certifications are like "stable" releases -- it will PROBABLY
work on a newly release upgrade to the OS, but technical support will
expect you to downgrade if there are issues that they can't resolve
quickly.

I am hoping the Oracle has a similar approach to certifications.
