Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris vs. Linux
I don't have experience with Linux on RS/6000, but I would sure like to give it a try.
An RS/6000 is a much faster box than a more expensive Sun box.
Since IBM supports Linux on their HW, and Oracle supports their RDBMS on Linux, I would jump at the chance for this combination.

Does anyone have any strong opinions or useful reference on the
performance,
reliability and scalability of Oracle (probably 8.1.7) on Linux (SuSE?) as
against Solaris?
We're spec'ing up some kit for a new production d/b and the cost of upgrading one of our existing Suns is so high that it would probably be cheaper to buy a new Linux box (I would guess an IBM). The database is going to be around 20Gb & we were looking at ~4 processors and ~2Gb RAM.
