RE: Apologies... linux & Oracle
SCO (Unix) was bought by Caldera who releases a version or flavor of Linux. Caldera's main emphasis has been (historically) the desktop and end users. During the Linux World conference in San Jose last year, Caldera announced their acquisition of SCO to fuel their server line of software products.

RE: linux & Oracle -- best combination
Lisa and others, About a year ago, I was working for a company as a Linux systems engineer (Read as: Tech guy doing sales support). Most of our customers wanted Linux systems, and it was my responsibility to provide them the correct combination of Linux and hardware to meet their needs. I had an ISO 9002 compliance to maintain as I provided testing and supporting data to our clients. My first test was RedHat linux 6.1 with Oracle 8.1.5. I don't have the benchmarks any more, but it worked the best. SCO Unix was bought by Caldera Linux and is not yet being implemented to the full capability (IMHO). Mandrake, SuSe, Storm were all tested as well, And had less satisfactory performance and reliability. Slackware 7 was the next best solution, followed by TurboLinux 6. All of these configurations were tested on the same machine, completely formatted and the same installation performed on each test cycle. I hope this is helpful information.

RE: Over seas online demo
VNC is a useful, free, yet insecure option. Another would be Dameware (www.dameware.com). I use Dameware in the office and in my home. The price is reasonable, it is considerably more secure, and will install the remote agent on the server as a service, provided you give it the right login information. A very nice tool for Windows remote display. If you are using a Win2000 server as the host, a simpler measure would be to use MS Terminal Services. I hope you find this information helpful.

RE: OT about to peeve off the vegatarians: RE: OT RE: Largest
This past weekend I had the opportunity to ride my motorcycle through Watsonville, in mid California. Right on the coast, just a bit south of Santa Cruz. The migrant workers were 'out in force' picking the strawberries for this weekend's festival. A warm wind from sea on a sunny day, mixed with the sweet-tart aroma of fresh strawberries, made it irresistible to stop. It is fun (and very dangerous) to eat those strawberries on a motorcycle at 60 miles an hour. But the basket did not last long enough to get back into San Jose. About 45 miles until the last berry. Damn it was good!

Most of the berries would be picked and shipped to market or wherever but there was always a small stand at the edge of the field where you could stop and buy direct from the grower. It was strange to find a strawberry field in the middle of the city. That was fifteen years ago. I'm not sure if it's still there - what with the high price of real estate in that area.

However the first on your list of examples is House prices. Generalisations can be made in all arguments but house prices differ hugely depending on location. ie, In UK north/south/London house price difference. I lived in NJ for a few years and have family in the DC area. Housing in parts of NY/NJ/DC/Md can be higher than southeast UK. To Generalise : I guess if you earn $60pa you can buy as roughly as many things as you can as if you are earning £60pa. (That's what 'cost of living' means to me).

Does anyone know of any problems with running the default WinNT SNMP service on the same machine as Oracle 8.1.6? Are there any configuration issues I should be wary of before starting this? Thanks for your tips.

RE: Linux as a production machine
Thanks. I have been saying this for years, but just not limited to Oracle systems. Nice to have someone agree with you after years of saying pretty much the same thing. Daniel Curry Tsola, Inc.

Neither is really high transaction volume but one is holding about 1.5 GB of data. One install occured because Oracle on NT was choking the box and the company did not want to buy new hardware. I find you usually get a 20 -30% performance boost with Oracle on Linux vs NT for the same hardware. The 8.0.5 Linux release has some problems so I would recommend the 8.1.6 release which is of the same quality as all other UNIX Oracle releases (Notice I didn't comment on the quality, just the similarity :) Both machines are in archive log mode and show typical unix uptimes (Months). WARNING: My original kernel is Slackware 1.2.13 (I think) and I have maintained my own kernel and system for the past 5-6 years (Currently 2.2.14). This gives me an extremely reliable (but custom) system. My builds are of better quality than any commercial linux packages I have tested. I would recommend Caldera over Redhat based on my tests and what I have heard from other admins. The feeling seems to be Redhat is going after the consumer market while Caldera is concentrating on the server market. In summary, Linux, once properly configured is quite suitable as a production Oracle platform.
