Re: Installing Oracle on uncertified Linux, like Debian, DownloadRedHat, Gentoo ?

Hello,
I'm running Oracle 9i on Suse 8.0 Professional. Seems to be pretty stable (running since last October).
Didn't seem to have any problems on the first (test) install, but reinstalling was a pain in the neck.
Luckily somebody sent the code to to free up shared memory stuff and since then no problems to report.

Regards,
Roman Zhovtulya
