How about permissions?
Another excellent point. Oracle will run incredibly poorly on the hardware that you've got. 18GB is going to disapear really fast, and 256MB of memory is going to get sucked up within minutes, and i'd imagine just about all your swap will be gone within a few hours. Oracle needs at leat 1GB of physical memory to run decently. Oracle is the KDE of databases. Big, bloated, and loaded with 4300 features that no one ever asked for. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
