I've had experience with both Suse and RH... stick with the RH. I like Suse but I find there is more Oracle and 3'rd party support available on RH, and just getting 9i installed on linux can sometimes be a real "biatch" if you don't follow Oracle's requirements to the letter. If you don't want to fork out $1,500 for AS just go with WS, though confirm with Oracle that they will support it. I believe they do. Received on Tue Mar 01 2005 - 14:34:25 CST
