We've moved all our 20+ databases from RedHat Linux Dell servers to two new 
X4-2 ODAs - Oracle Linux on Sun servers.  We're happy so far.  The ODA 
environment is  a lot more restrictive than just a standalone server.  However, 
it is simpler.

Thanks Andrew.

I'll keep that in mind.

Factory install of Oracle Linux is an option. I did all my OCP practicing and 
testing on Oracle Linux and I liked it.

Ok, then I have no opinion on that particular line.  My irritations stem from 
the Sun OS.

Note that the X4-2 server *is* an Intel server, it's not one of the SPARC line 
of processors.

I am really not fond of Sun servers.  In my experience they are less powerful 
then similarly priced intel servers, plus they have their own set of foibles 
that are irritating.
