No doubt -- ORACLE APPS is an ugly beast but was/is there an alternative? Linux on the other hand is not only butt-ugly BUT offers NO benefit whatsoever for an APPS shop. That was my point. I still don't see any value in going Linux even for a shop on a tight budget -- this is just a trend. They shoot themselves in the foot by doing so and will be paying the price in the next 4 years. Again ... time will tell. - Vitaliy -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
