Hi Guys,
this is going 2 b my first post at this site I guess I should be gratefull
to Don Burleson for a change as he recommended this to me(Are you
listening Don I dont allways talk bad things abt you).Getting back to the
Linux question I have personal experience that shifting the DB from a
Certified version to a non certified versiona actually gave me a
tremendous perf boost.As you guys knw Oracle 9.2.0 is not certified with
Redhat 9.0 but it works I have done that with yes some little tweaking not
COWBOY type maybe COWHAND type but it works and memory utilization is far
better.I didnt see any installation yet which runs SuSe or Mandrake or
Vanila in a peoduction Env.I personally run Redhat 7.1,7.2,8.0 and 9.0 .
They all work fine Cert Matrix can go to hell. Thats a easy way for the
underknowledged overpaid Oracle support guys to look away from your
TAR.Chk out www.puschitz.com for more deatils abt linux and Oracle.Someone
send this guy a bottle of omething he likes keep up the great work Werner.
See ya
