Linux is now Oracle's low-end offering

,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle Corp. has rekindled its Solaris love. 
| Sun's Solaris operating system will underlie 
| new high-end data center appliances running 
| the Oracle software stack. And Oracle 
| EnterpriseLinux now becomes the preferred OS 
| for lower-end commodity hardware.
| 
| By making the Sparc/Solaris tandem the 
| foundation of big-iron SMP appliances, the 
| company is going back to its roots when Oracle 
| and Sun were joined at the hip. Pre-Linux, 
| Solaris was the de facto development platform 
| for new Oracle software. New Oracle databases 
| came out first on Solaris and later on 
| everything else.
