Hello! - this is where I jump in. We have been developing and using Oracle for 4-5 years now. Typical system size is about what you describe in the top of your article. We've used SCO Unix and are reasonably well satisfied.

I agree that the initial setup might take some time and effort. After that, you should'nt have to spend much time on it at all.

Good luck!
