Re: [MLUG] Redhat and Oracle

[Rick Buford <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I've found very few "real" differences between AS and plain 7.3. I was 
more than happy to push for buying some real licenses, but quite 
honetly, I had to undo a lot of small things to get my non-shared 
storage cluster running. It would have been far easier to start with 
plain 7.3 and build onto it.

However, all I'm clustering are services (DNS, etc.) and don't require 
shared storage. If you need that functionality, I think AS would be 
perfect for you. The other thing to keep in mind is that Oracle 
certification on a platform becomes pretty critical when you're trying 
to get support from Oracle.
