I don't understand what you say when you write "if you want Oracle's backing you will need an enterprise edition - you must mean RedHat Enterprise Edition - not Oracle - correct?

Thanks,

We are currently looking into moving from Solaris to Linux, but be careful. Yes the Linux software is generally "free" but the supported vendors will need at least $500(US) up to $2500 per server for 24x7 support, dependendent upon hardware (no of CPU's etc) and if you want Oracle's backing you will need an enterprise edition, RedHat want about $2000 a copy of RedHat AS v3.0 in the UK. If your shop is used to paying through the nose for support to vendors like Sun, then these figures don't seem so bad. The real savings come from the use of commodity Intel hardware!

Just my tuppence worth, that we have discovered in our investigations so far. Happy to be shot-down and corrected!

Hi all,

the spec is like this
2 or 3 instances OLTP 30 - 40 GB,=20
1 datawarehouse 1 TB or may be 20 - 25% more 50 - 100 clients in LAN=20

what do you think about=20

Linux (Redhat, or ???)=20

Unix (only SunOS in the market, HPUX ???).

As you know Solaris 10 and Redhat for now are free.
