hahaha...what is funny about this one is I have the orginal html doc (always save this stuff, but that is just me).

The orginal doc is for 9i-RAC RH-Linux;

Anyway, if you use the link you I provided above it is (now) for 10g-RAC RH-Linux;

Subject: Poor Man's RAC environment

Some one out here published a description of a poor mans Linux based rac cluster. Since we're getting ideas about using RAC I have to set up a test & proof of concept environment. Therefore whoever had the configuration, could you please send me either the link or a copy (off list that is).
