Re: Oracle 12.1.0.2 RIP

actually, oracle can be made to run on ubuntu.

as a server though I am not sure why anyone would bother.

Personally I have 11.2 and 12.1 clients running on ubuntu.

doing so is not straightforward; I did it only because Ubuntu/Mate is my work environment of choice.

adding a 12.2 client is simply not possible with the other two installed, which is why I have docker machines for 12.2 and 18c clients.

the docker solution works remarkably well.
