Yeah, so long as you're happy running unsupported.

I wasn't sure from Les' mail if this was a test, sandpit or production database so made the point that it's do able but not reccomended. =20 For a test or sandpit database where you just want to play about with it, unsupported in fine. On the other hand, compared with the cost of Oracle licenses the cost of SuSE ES or the RedHat equivalent, whatever they are calling their enterprise product now, is peanuts.

Just because something is possible doesn't mean it's a good idea.
