The idea that for Enterprise use, you should use our enterprise products is there since we first made an Enterprise product and called it SLES7. SUSE Linux should still be a stable, well designed, polished distro that works out of the box - but you're testing a beta right now;-). Oracle was never supported as part of SUSE Linux Professional, it might just have worked for some versions. AFAIK you will not get support from Oracle for anything that runs on SUSE Linux, since Oracle only certifies the enterprise products. I'm not sure which Oracle version will work with our next enterprise products and what needs to be done for them. You should also be able to grab the gcc-old package from an older distri and try installing and running it (not tested - note I have never tried Oracle installation), Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
