The most valuable Oracle software is the old oracle software. After trashing Oracle7...and then needing it badly, I now keep every version I get for Windows and Linux...and I have gone to that well several times for work....only thing is the olderit get the harder it is to find and run the old OS. Here is a good one. A DBA I know from an old list has a copy of Oracle 804 (I believe) for Linux... ...only printed on the CD it says; "Oracle 804 for Linus" as in Linus Torvalds Chris Marquez Oracle DBA -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Pete Sharman Sent: Tue 9/6/2005 5:13 PM To: Marco.Gralike@xxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Peter Ross Sharman Subject: RE: Oracle 6 software download One would have to ask why? I have copies of 5.1.22 for DOS and 6.0.33 for DOS IIRC. I hunted them out just to keep a copy for posterity. Never tried using the copies I have though.
