This is NOT only initial cost YOU have to jump through the same hoops every time Linux changes their os which is more often than Solaris (we ran on the same boxes same os for 7 years).
hmmmm.... all we've had to do is apply the kernel patches, reboot the box and bring up the databases. maybe i've been lucky?
And again you are running ORACLE why would you choose the worst possible hardware/os for it? This is an ORACLE list after all where we collaborate on the best practices of running ORACLE. ORACLE/Linux is not the best practice.
well, seems to work fine for us with no major problems. guess it may be how you define best practice?
