Oracle on Linux, this time it's serious

There are often posts here about when oracle is going to be available on Linux, usually dismissed with the statement that Oracle has no such plans and where do these rumours start. Below is a quote from the
"Economist". For those that do not know it this is a well respected
financial weekly published in Britain.

"Even the brightest stars of the information-technology universe are
turning to Linux. Oracle, a database firm, is planning to offer Linux versions of some of its software. Sun Microsystems already uses the program for low-end workstations. IBM might soon do the same for its hardware (it recently announced its support for Apache, a leading Web-server program that often runs on Linux). "
