Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Linux taking over at Oracle
I think that the LVM announcement in the link below is the lynchpin for getting Linux "Enterprise-wide" (man, I hate buzzwords!):

Now if I could only get Oracle on Linux for Alpha, I'd be set!

On a contrarian note with all the Larry hype aside... Linux is much more that just a fad. In a relatively short time it has already put a very significant dent in MS server software sales and I'm sure it's going to affect Sun/HP regardless of Oracle's IT infrastructure strategies. Linux/Intel is a proven production quality platform and having worked with Linux/Oracle servers for over a year now I conclude that the Linux "revolution" is not going away like just another fad. In fact, it's just getting started. BTW, I'm getting ready to buy a ReplayTV unit and guess what it runs on? ... LINUX!!!
If you want to get a good idea of what folks are doing with Oracle on Linux just join the suse-oracle_at_suse.com list or go to http://www.suse.com/en/support/oracle/index.html ... etc.
I think the point behind all this is that, large, complex servers can be a support challenge with capacity planning for "always on," 24x7, unlimited future scalability needs.
Rather than racking our brains we should be RAC'ing our servers.
