Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: native Oracle-port on Linux -- what would it take?
One thing that would help a lot in porting oracle to linux would be to have a
port of
Atria's ClearCase multi-version file system to linux. That would make grinding
out the oracle releases much quicker, so the best support for oracle
on linux would be a quick upgrade to the latest release, and then the linux
port
could stay pretty much in sync with the base (Solaris) port. My guess is it
would perform about the same as it does on Solaris, given the same hardware,
so the problem would become how to price the thing. Considering it would take
only one person about a month to port, debug, test and ship the server bundle
(maybe slightly longer for the first release), then it just comes down to cost
of the hardware.
