Somehow this is getting irritating for me. So what if Oracle has recommended RH AS for its servers? All desktops and laptops come with recommmendations for Windows XP. Still people go ahead and try installing software which should ideally work in the same environment! Yes, they do understand the risks involved most of the time, and the fact that they are in generally unsupported-by-OEM territory. So what if they try to do something out of the ordinary? Encourage all these ventures instead of cursing and shouting at them! If Oracle has a personal edition version and if one can run it on a Free OS like Fedora, this is a very good thing! It provides a very good learning and testing environment for a significant number of users who couldnt have afforded it otherwise. In fact, if Gaurav agrees to release his howto under GNU FDL, I would be glad to put it up on the lug-delhi.org wiki .. so that others benefit from his persistence and dedication in getting this to work. - Sandip P.S. Ofcourse, I would still prefer people learn PostgreSQL over Oracle. But given a choice between a totally restricted solutions (Oracle+AS) I and a partially restricted solution (Oracle+Fedora), I would encourage the latter. :) -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
