RE: Should there only be 1 OS, or multiple?

Oracle tried that a few years ago in concert with Dell. Fell flat on it's face as I remember. It was called a "Database Appliance. Wonder where that copy of Oracle magazine went?? Oh well, for more look here: http://news.cnet.com/Oracle-database-appliance-released/2100-1001_3-2388 26.html

        Hi:         

        I think that in some years ( may be 10, 15... ) will be only 1 OS supported by Oracle, and will be mantained by Oracle. Call it Oracle Linux, Oracle OS... Finally when we will need to put a database, we well talk with Oracle and after say the aprox. number of user/transactions/data/purpose... after two weeks we will receive a blackbox containing the cpus, disk, and software 'ready to use'                  

        Ony imagination ;)
