I would recommend using 64 bit linux ... on a system that supports it well.

There's a Red Hat Reference Architecture book ( werner puschitz wrote it I believe ) "Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Enterprise Linux ( RHEL ) for Oracle 9i and 10g Databases that you should become very familiar with.

Reading that document and proceeding carefully should get you rolling. Received on Wed Sep 24 2008 - 16:04:55 CDT
