RE: linux & Oracle -- best combination

Yeah, the other thing, 6000 files which consist of 500Mb is about 10x slower to download than 1 file which is 600Mb

The TCP protocol, ramps, which means, it gets up to speed within the first few seconds of delivery, when your downloading many small files, your bandwidth is cut down by 10 fold if not more.

You can download Suse, but you have over 6,000 files to download. It's all in a specific directory on there FTP server.

On the other hand, for RH you can just download a few ISO files and burn them into CDs. Easy.

I believe that Suse Personal, with CD and manuals, is 30 bucks. I am assuming that the personal version will run Oracle, since its seems the Pro(70 bucks) version is for clustering, etc.

I've not really checked out Suse, you have to buy it versus being able to get RH for free?
