Re: Which Linux??

No question, CentOS is a good choice.

But, it does not work on the Dell Vostro 200 desktops. CentOS 4/5 does not have the drivers (I believe) for the new SATA in Vostro and I couldn't get to install... at the moment it seems to me ubuntu is the only choice.

Are there any issues in installing Oracle10g/11g on ubuntu?

thanks,
Arul
