The Oracle database is nothing new on Linux, but this is the first time (to my knowledge) that Oracle is supporting development tools running on a non-Windows OS. Oracle are well known for the RDBMS, but somehow get overlooked for their other tools and technologies. If only they'd port Oracle Designer (good modelling tool) I'd be able finally remove the dual boot from my workstation.
Check out the Beta release at Oracle Technet , though may need to register for a free account before downloading."

    I went to download this and I had to agree to this section of the license:
    I will not use the Programs for, and will not allow the Programs to be used for, any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, for the development, design, manufacture or production of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction.
    I think I can live with that.

    I've never downloaded anything from Oracle Technet (I don't have UNLIMITED bandwidth), but it always looks like there is a lot of cool stuff up there to be downloaded. This (plus the fact that Larry Ellison is a nut-job) makes Oracle seem kind of cool.
