Stephan,
I understand this works great in theory, however as a full stack Oracle
customer (from the hardware up) I have to say it doesn't work that way in
practice.
We recently had an RDBMS bug that was exposed through GoldenGate functionality.
The back and forth between both business units and Oracle Support was
maddening.
After fingers were pointed at each BU for months we tried getting our reps
involved, however they only 'had pull' with respect to their division and were
of little external assistance. That resulted in a lot of 'we'll get back with
you' and finger pointing.
Nothing would please me more to agree with you, but I know too many people with
similar stories.

Hi Jeff,
good move :) imo there is absolutely no good technical reason to run Oracle
RDBMS on Windows. The only (valid) reason for doing this, could be the
in-house knowledge of the OS team - that's it.
However Oracle Linux is also a very good choice - especially if you are not
very familiar with Linux yet. Oracle Linux (UEK) is optimized for Oracle
and already got good default settings for running RDBMS (e.g. I/O scheduler
or memory options like disabled transparent huge pages, etc.). If you
choose another distribution, you have to do all of this on your own.
Good luck :)

So we are going to be converting our database from Windows 2008R2 64bit over
to Linux. We are not currently a big Linux shop so we don't have a
preference on the flavor. I am just assuming we would go with Oracle Linux.
Seems like it should be the perfect match. Any reason why not?
