Interesting info, Daniel. I've had a soft spot for Apple's flavour of Unix since the days I was probably the only person in Australia running Oracle on A/UX. Unfortunately it was canned too soon and my current investment in Intel is too large for me to go back, no matter how attractive OSX may look. Mind you, that Apple Mini little box is sweeeeeeet!

Question: do you know where to download the ORION tool for disk performance evaluation? Can't find it anywhere although it's mentioned in the lcs white paper. And a search in Oracle turns out 10 zillion hits on that useless java appserver crap...
