A First Look at Oracle 11g database on Debian GNU/Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Three and half years have passed since my first attempts to install Oracle
| 10g on an unsupported Debian GNU/Linux distribution. Seeing that Oracle 11g
| is out, and exclusively for Linux at this time, I decided to download it
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| among the first and see and share with you what it's installation looks like.

Is Unbreakable a long-term Linux play?
,----[ Quote ]
| After initial cynicism I have been forced to rethink my opinion on a couple
| of occassions, notably Oracle's patent pledge, the naming of customers and
| the naming of partners, although I remain unconvinced that OEL is a long-term
| strategy for the company as opposed to an attempt to disrupt the market.
|
| Linux is clearly a long-term commitment. Oracle Enterprise Linux? Not sure.
