RE: WHICH UNIX FOR ORACLE?

Bunyamin,

Here we go again! (Raj - this _is_ a war!!)

My preference is:

1. AIX
2. HP-UX
3. Solaris

Ultimately, it is a question of how much $$$ - now (purchase), later (maintenance costs), and how much when it goes down. I have managed about 150 AIX boxes at one time, and have not had H/w based difficulties running them. And still managed 6 Solaris boxes at the same time and had major headaches with the H/W...

YMMV!
