I think a 100 user Oracle licence will cost you more than US$10,000! With that kind of budget you are probably restricted to Intel based hardware, the cheapest Sun machine will cost from 5,000 and I doubt that any other "Unix vendor" will be any cheaper. Having said that, a decent pentium system should support up to a 100 users, depending on the application of course. Received on Tue Dec 23 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
