I concur.

I've tried on several occasions to get Linux people to speak up on this. No one does. So Oracle doesn't realize that PE on Linux is an opportunity.

Possibly because they (Linux developers) think PE is 'less than SE', whereas PE is actually 'more than EE' in capability, just licensed for a max of one user.

And possibly because of the 'old school' Linux thinking "if it ain't free, it ain't good".
