I've had enormous problems with FC5 and I've just tried with FC6. Oracle
10.2, I'm sorry to say, doesn't work on that distribution. In retrospect,
I approve of Oracle's recent move into Linux arena. If red Hat did not
have enough sense to make Oracle working on their distros, Oracle did the
right thing, by taking care of the problem themselves. This commendable
move, however, will not have much impact on Fedora which will have to be
abandoned as an Oracle platform.
As a person still running FC4 on my home computer, I started looking for
the new candidates. So far, OpenSuse and Ubuntu seem like good
alternatives. I planned on switching to FC6 over the Thanksgiving, but
Oracle 10.2.0.1 did not work and, to add insult to the injury, FC6
overwrote my grub installation, which was extremely annoying. Therefore,
I'm soliciting opinions about OpenSuse and Ubuntu. Did anybody try these
things? I know that Oracle 10 works on OpenSuse 10.1. What is a general
opinion of that distribution?
