That's the only hurdle here. My Teamlead and SA is a huge Linux fan.
He only runs Linux on his desktop, using Citrix to do Outlook and
homegrown Winders apps. We test drive RAC 9i for a year, hoping it
would replace our midrange Unix boxes with a Linux blade farm (it
didn't). We have refused to put Oracle on Winders since some major
corruption debacles back in v7. However, he has a very difficult time
justifying the cost of RedHat support versus our corporate Winders rate,
so we have only one RH server currently rolled out and it's slated for
retirement as soon as I can get the stragglers off of the ONames server
it's running.
But if Oracle has a more attractive support offering for a similar
product, that may swing here. So all you early birds let us know how it
goes! Us second meeses will grab that cheese...

Actually I think all the hubbub is about Oracle offering cheaper support
for Red Hat Linux than Red Hat. I just ran across this article:

aim at Red Hat)
