:)  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.
