RE: lots and lots of redo logs

It is default to 8, unless you change it by rebuilding the control file or init.ora, depending on the version.

Although 8 is platform dependant.

I think that Chris was referring to the maximum number of redo log group one COULD create - an Oracle hard limit. I don't know what it is, but I know its
not 8 since I have created OPS databases with 12 redo groups for each instance
and multiple instances.
