RE: Oracle on Windows Vs. Linux

Donald,

If you installed more than just a few months ago, you probably went w/ ES3 cause that was the newest available at the time. Version 4 hasn't been out all that long.

We're using Redhat Enterprise Version 3. Don't know why that one was
picked.

What version of Linux?

I do believe that the 2.6 kernel has better IO

If you're on 2.4, I'd try and upgrade to 2.6 and see
if that makes any difference.
