        Any experience ? Give facts !

        I've been running busy Linux servers for 1 year and a half (6 servers). None of them crashed. About Oracle, I've crash tested an Oracle 8 server on linux 2.2. During 1 week (24 hours a day), I've been running large queries on a 500 Mb database. Oracle never crashed, no datas corruptions ... I can't give perfomance measurements because I never used Oracle seriously on other plateforms, but my impression was positive.

        Good advice ... an Os that has been deprecated years ago ...

        Cheap ??? Solaris is cheap only for personal/non commercial use.

        Can't you read the name of the newsgroup ? This guy wants to run Oracle. Where is Oracle for *BSD ?
