As an exponent of the Oracle suite, you might also like to know that all of
the Linux Oracle products, including 8i and their web server, are available
if you join the Oracle Technet. If anyone is interested in the slightest in
getting Oracle products, it is well worth signing up. The products are
either available on CD, or downloadable straight from the site, for those of
you with fast connections (Most are actually available as split files, for
slower connections). The licenses are all development single user licenses.
Well worth every penny of download costs, or in the case of CD, the media
costs!!
For those of you NT owners, there is an equivalent Oracle suite for you
there aswell.
The additional support (newsgroups, sample code, etc) is also very well
maintained.
Head over to http://technet.oracle.com for more info.

No matter what I do to try to join this it gives me an error message or
