I have a similar scenario. I'm about to embark on Oracle 7 (On a Silicon Graphics Challenger) installation. I've half-written an Oracle 6 database (lack of time prevented completion) and I know my UNIX systems fairly well (mostly SunOS, but a bit of IRIX)

"watch out for's" and other tips gratefully recieved.
