I agree w/ Ron. Intel Linux is the least cost alternative. I
just dumped an old Sparc 5 and bought a PIII 450 128mb ram for $139 +
shipping. You can't beat the cost of old intel machines, plus I can get
hardware/software anywhere.

Dan,
I have an intel 850mz with 512 Ram 4 disks, 1-20g 2-40g and 1 80g and
a SCSI Cdrom and SCSI 4mm tape drive Loaded with RedHat 7.2 and Oracle
8.1.7.
It contains the same data as the production server and is faster by 3
fold. The production is Dell 6300 450 mz 1 Gig and 2 Raid1 and 5 Raid5
drives.
I use the Linux box to practice and play and learn the features of 8i
for implimentation on to the production servers. I think Linux is the
way to go. The initial cost and upgrade costs are really in-expensive.

I am looking to add a unix box to my collection of wintel machines at
home.
It will be used solely for running/testing Oracle, so I don't need
bells &
whistles. My thoughts are either Linux/intel or Sun Ultra workstation.
While
it would be convenient to be able to network it into a DSL
configuration, it
is not essential. My original thought was a Linux desktop, but I can
also
get Ultra 5 or 10 workstations on ebay for less than $500.
Anyone having experience good/bad/ugly for this type of task? All
tips,
challenges, things to consider are greatly appreciated.
