Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Borderline OT - Unix for Oracle at home
Definitely use SUN equipment if you use Solaris. Way too many questions
and problems on the Solaris message boards related to getting Intel hardware
to work right with solaris. Ugly.

I personally run Linux/Oracle on all of my own test/dev boxes. But I'd like
to vote for Solaris/Oracle.
I would also recommand the Sun Blades, which are based on PC architectures
and the advantage
is it uses PC RAM and IDE hard drive, so it's cheaper than the Sun parts.
You can get a 2GB
of RAM from curcial for like two hundred bucks.

I am looking to add a unix box to my collection of wintel machines at home. It will be used solely for running/testing Oracle, so I don't need bells & whistles. My thoughts are either Linux/intel or Sun Ultra workstation. While it would be convenient to be able to network it into a DSL configuration, it is not essential. My original thought was a Linux desktop, but I can also get Ultra 5 or 10 workstations on ebay for less than $500.
Anyone having experience good/bad/ugly for this type of task? All tips, challenges, things to consider are greatly appreciated.
