Re: Oracle on unix or NT

Ooops, let me qualify one statement:

Concerning Oracle/Linux/Intel, you'll probably get the same or better performance and reliability as Oracle/NT on the same hardware, and probably about the same performance and reliability as Oracle/Solaris/Intel, but lower cost in both cases.
