Oracle on Linux
Oracle #1 on Linux With More Than 80% Market Share
,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle's Linux commitment began in 1998 with the first commercial database
| on Linux. Today, only Oracle provides support for the complete software
| stack on Linux with applications, middleware, database and the operating
| system, including Red Hat, Novell/SUSE and Asianux. All Oracle products
| run on Linux, and Oracle Database on Linux meets the EAL4 Common
| Criteria Standard, the highest security level for commercial software.
| With Oracle's performance and reliability on Linux, you can standardizey
| our IT infrastructure on low-cost commodity servers, and with Oracle
| Real Application Clusters on Linux, you can scale out to meet demands on
| the fly.
