This list does not make Oracle an OS. Try implementing any of that
stuff without an OS underneath and the point will be crystal clear..

        I have a talk I give at OUGs around the country about database
automation that makes a few general points on this subject:
        
        - Oracle's database is getting closer to an OS all the time.  We
can look at some of the features that Oracle has internally like:
         --- Cluster framework (CRS)
         --- IP and network management (VIPs - yes, part of the CRS, I
know)
         --- Built-in memory management (automatic SGA, etc. tuning)
         --- Built-in storage/volume management (ASM)
         --- Filesystem structures (tablespaces, OCFS, etc.)
