[Big Snip!]
But there you have a major difference!
Did you manage to get 9iAS Rel2 installed on your RH9
system? I gave up after about 2 weeks.
On Windows, it installs within a day.
Similar for db - it just doesn't install flawlessy
on Linux (unless you pay $$$ for the supported version),
where it does in Windows.
To use the words you so often use: it depends.
If you want to learn all kinds of Oracle stuff, stay
Windoze (G, never thought I'd admit that!).
For fun, start by talking your db to Linux, take it from there.
