In some aspects they are the same....but they are not from Oracle's perspective.
For some reason, dealing with RHEL, Oracle skipped one of the RHEL releases as far as certification. Oracle 10g (the 64 bit version) is certified on Suse 9.0 with Oracle 9.0 being certified on Suse 8.0. Oracle 9 was certified on RHEL (some older release), skipped the next RHEL release, and Oracle 10g is suppose to be certified on the next (or perhaps it is out already) release of RHEL which is 64 bit RHEL. But once you have the Oracle release you want, running on a certified release of z/Linux, I doupt that there is much difference from an Oracles' perspective. (I was at an Oracle installation class that only discussed RHEL for a few minutes. I'm on SLES and the class was based on SLES. So I tuned out the RHEL discussion, which was rather minor. ) Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/02/05 2:03 PM >>> >From the DBA's point of view, I would say that neither of them have any advantage over the other, if they're both certified by Oracle. I believe that Oracle uses SUSE Linux as their development platform, if that matters to you.

What would be the advantages of one distro over the other distro from the DBA point of view.
