Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Oracle on Windows versus Linux
We plan to install an ERP software (blending from incodev) in our
company. The software is only supported with oracle on windows and not
with oracle on linux. But we would strongly prefer to run oracle on a
linux system because of easier administration, security and performance.
The manufacturer of the software (incodev) is not willing to make an
installation with a oracle/linux system without intensive in-house
testing. A result of this is of course a time shift in our project. Is
it necessary to make this tests or can it be guaranteed that there is no
difference between a oracle/windows and a oracle/linux system from the
sight of the software (blending).
Next question is which linux distribution is most advisable? There are
quite expensive versions of RedHat and SuSE which are supposed to run
oracle faster but are they worth their money? Or is it just a trick from
the distributors to get more money from professional users?
Many thanks in advance for any answers and hints.
