This is just a stupid comment, Oracle is available for Netware and NT, bothx86 based OS's, just like Linux, plus Linux can run on Alpha, PPC, Mips, etc... So how exactly is the PC hardware of the Netware and NT boxes so much better that they can run Oracle?? They are the same hardware as Linux!

Granted most of the hardware running Linux is lower end, but it is more than capable of running on the high end stuff...it is just tough to convince the boss to
let a free OS run his $10k server...
