this seems to be counter-intuive to me.
Oracle has released ZERO products for ANY BSD distribution. Not NetBSD, OpenBSD (wouldn't they want to run Trusted Oracle on OpenBSD?) and not FreeBSD, with reportedly the fastest TCP/IP stack out there.
No long ago, there were many more FreeBSD web servers in use (running Apache, of course) that Linux web servers. For Oracle to ignore the BSD market for so long, and then release a product (for real, not this float some beta stuff out there for 8.1.6, 8.1.7, 9.2.0) for Mac OS X?

guess I'll never understand marketing.
