Re: Oracle on Linux, $80 ????

Having the disc containing 8i is not the same as having a runtime or enterprise license of Oracle 8i. You are allowed to develop solutions and/or research the product, but not allowed to "use" it in a production environment. What you get is a $80 book and a piece of software that also is "free" for download on technet
