Well you might have started the war anyway ...

Most of us hanging out here have lots of experience on solaris and/or hpux.

Oracle runs very nicely in these environments ... in general.

Linux does seem to be rolling ... but not anywhere close to me yet. It is improving a lot and ibm and oracle and others are funding a lot of work to improve it.

Oracle will continue to support oracle on solaris and that now means all the different flavors including solaris on intel/amd. Oracle has been pretty wishy washy on the intel/amd platform ... now you see it now you don't.

Hopefully that will not change anymore ... time will tell. Received on Wed Apr 27 2005 - 07:02:32 CDT
