Hi,

I'm your typical poor student (cue violin), I've done all my learning on Oracle so far from home on the remote Uni machine (SunOS) and now I want to setup my own server so I can learn more about the DBA side and have a free run of it all. I see from the Oracle site that it's only (for linux) certified to work on Redhat/Suse Advanced Server, which alas are not cheap [read: not free] and that the X86 SunOS version is marked as 'projected'. Are the certified OS's the be-all and end-all? If I run 10g on Suse 9i Personal Edition or X86 SunOS would the DBMS chug along fine? Ideally I would like to run it on the X86 SunOS version, any suggestions/pointers would be most welcome :]

Regards,

Anthony.
