RE: Oracle 6 software download

Damn, does anyone have the older 5.25 disk drives anymore??? Those are antiques.

I learned the hard way. The most valuable Oracle software is the old oracle software.
After trashing Oracle7...and then needing it badly, I now keep every version I get for Windows and Linux...and I have gone to that well several times for work....only thing is the olderit get the harder it is to find and run the old OS.

Here is a good one.
A DBA I know from an old list has a copy of Oracle 804 (I believe) for Linux...
...only printed on the CD it says;

    "Oracle 804 for Linus"
as in Linus Torvalds

One would have to ask why?

I have copies of 5.1.22 for DOS and 6.0.33 for DOS IIRC. I hunted them out just to keep a copy for posterity. Never tried using the copies I have though.

Is there somewhere on the internet a place where it is still possible to download Oracle version 6 or a lower version?
