Well, one thing you might want to take into account is that the DB, and some parts (soon to be all parts) of AS10g and OCS are now developed on RedHat. Means earlier access to code and less porting issues.

Subject: Linux Vs Solari

Hi All,

Right now we are on Solaris 8 and 9 (some) and oracle 9i. Some of the database are RAC.

Management is planning to Move to Linux (Redhat).

(we have almost around 100 oracle databases from siziging 2 GB to 200 GB, some of them

are oracle APPS)

Can someone throw any suggestions

has anybody moved from Solaris to Linux and see any advantages / issues. ?

Would appreciate if any specific URLs avaialble on these topics.

Thanks in advance.

Raj
