Yes. No supported release => no support. If I get ORA-600 (which, of
course, never happens) I need to have someone to ask for help.

You'll be interested to learn that I achieved a good performance on
both cooker and RH-9 with JFS downloaded directly from IBM and compiled
directly into the kernel. JFS supports "setall" value in the
"filesystemio_options" parameter and 1.1.4 has had some performance
optimizations. That is, I suppose, what you call "cowboy stuff".
I love cooker for always being on the bleeding edge.
