:) No doubt! Oracle might learn something by porting version 8 to RedHat or Debian-- can you imagine insalling oracle like this:

rpm -i oracle-8.rpm

No "staging area" or silly environment variables.

Don't forget 'svrmgrm'.

Also, it would be NICE if the oracle documentation were available in other formats-- we have a monochrome X server and the black text on blue background makes it almost impossible to read it.
