Obviously, you have not worked with Oracle Support.
You have not attempted to get bug fixes or patches,
patchsets in a short amount of time.
Guess how many production releases of Oracle Database
Server had been issued that are supported on
[Free|Net|Open] BSD?
how about zero?
run it on Linux or some real *nix.
but be my guest to go have fun and wear that badge of
honor. Post on /. that you have a Beowulf Cluster of
PPCs running Oracle on Mac OS X, I'm sure your karma
will love it. maybe you won't ever need to work with
Oracle Support and get a bugfix. The thing is, that
they are going to have to setup a reproducible test
case for themselves and for development in order to
get a fix out to you.
(btw - in my experience, patches on win32 take months
longer than on lin32, and I've had excellent response
in getting issues resolved with 9.2 on lin32).
