Excellent suggestions, thanks Howard.
Now "White Box Linux" is totally NEW to me. Never heard of it.
Q:
1) I am assuming it's not 10g cerified. but people have been installing
Oracle on it
with no problem like we been doing with the better-known distro like RH and
SuSE ?
2) Do you have a White Box Linux installation/setup doc like you the one you
did before on i think RH ?
