I know I'm jumping into this thread kind of late, but I have a quick
question, mostly directed at the Eric's original response. I have heard
several times people mention running Oracle on Intel Solaris. This sounds
great! I'd love to try it out, but my problem is that I have looked into
it, and I can't find anything on any of Oracle's web sites referring to a
version of Oracle that runs on Intel Solaris. I was looking for it in
software downloads at Technet and couldn't find it there, and I can't seem
to find it as available in any of the technology tracks that are available
for order either. If someone could please point me in the right direction
for acquiring software and documentation (or any other kind of information
for that matter) for Oracle on Intel Solaris, I would be most appreciative.
Regards, and thanks in advance...

I wouldn't disagree with you on that point, I always find myself getting on
my
Sun box to test out anything that has to do with interoperability Oracle and
different operating systems. I typically script and code so that I can run
my
stuff on Sun Sparc Solaris, Intel Linux, and HP-UX. And so far, I typically
I
don't run into too many compatibility problems. As far as OS's go though,
no
one will ever truest Linux 100%, and thats a shame.
