Re: LINUX and Oracle Corp.

Dell 2500 ( I think )

2 x 1GHZ Pentium III's
2 Gig RAM
Internal drive for boot
6 30 Gig Seagate Barracuda's in 3 RAID 1 mirrors. Ethernet, etc.
RH 7.2

About 12,000 dollars US. This 6 months ago.

A Sun box of similar capacity was about 20,000 US.

Great for low end stuff. High end boxes are another story, as Sun has some very powerful servers.
