I wouldn't disagree with you on that point, I always find myself getting on my
Sun box to test out anything that has to do with interoperability Oracle and
different operating systems. I typically script and code so that I can run my
stuff on Sun Sparc Solaris, Intel Linux, and HP-UX. And so far, I typically I
don't run into too many compatibility problems. As far as OS's go though, no
one will ever truest Linux 100%, and thats a shame.
