Funny, I believe I specified that this was for home use, for self
education purposes.
The problem is that those commercial distros are expensive. I'm not going
to shell out $1500 just to have the pleasure of being on a supported
distribution. Linux, unlike some other operating systems, is not something
that can only be acquired from The Source. There is no Redmond and there
is no Dark Lord in the world of Linux. Also, there isn't a single browser
to rule them all and in VB bind them. Red Hat produced something that
doesn't work with Oracle, it's sayonara Red Hat, hello SuSE or Ubuntu or
Mandriva. I believe I know the theory of supported systems, but I'm not
looking for support, I'm looking for something free and capable of running
Oracle. Unfortunately, FC6 ain't it. I was merely asking for advice.
