RE: redhat/oracle

> This topic is better handled over at /. than here

True enough in the general sense, though I don't necessarily think it off topic here, as many of us use it to run Oracle.

And there is usually far too much garbage as /. to get involved in the discussions, at least IMO.

Mary,  

This topic is better handled over at /. than here. (http://slashdot.org). RedHat should have communicated more effectively that they are indeed still supporting both Libre and Gratis software (read: free as in speech, free as in beer).
For now, I'll sit on RH8.0 for Oracle 9i R2 development and with RH AS 2.1 for production. But SuSE gets another look - deservingly so.

so now that Linux has "made it" are we going to have a Linux provider melt down? with no open source/free versions left?
