I'm trying to put together a document for my boss listing the pros and cons of Oracle on Windows vs. Oracle on Linux.

I've seen at least one benchmark demonstrate a 40% performance improvment on Linux (vs. Windows) using identical hardware. The only thing that worries me about Linux is I've seen a lot of posts here recently where people have had enormous trouble just installing the thing (and had to start changing files, etc.).

I've installed on Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX in the past and never really had any major problems other than getting root access. If anyone here is using Linux, I'm curious at to whether you have problems with the Oracle Management Server, Intelligent Agent, running OEM on Linux, etc. It's these little things that get you. Any known problems with certain Linux desktop environments?

I don't want to recommend it only to find later on that I shot myself in the foot. Is there anything like HP-UX's SAM on Linux?

Thanks in advance .../Dom. Received on Thu Nov 13 2003 - 18:46:34 CST
