Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Opinions request - Oracle on WIN2K vs Unix
Chris,
Any issue with administration? We use PCAnywhere currently to access server consoles (switching to Tivoli Remote Control) which is a big pain with only one person able to login in that way. Can't use Terminal server (actually Oracle documentation says there are issues also) due to problems with Tuxedo.
I have this fear that I am going to have to cross the city to the data centre to access the server directly on occassion. And the traffic is lousy.
