Um...I have Win95 and Linux on my machine and I use Linux almost all of the time, but when I'm in Windows I use IE(5).
If you don't think its usable, then I doubt you've seen as much as a screenshot of it. It has many more features, is renders incredibly fast(faster than Gecko/Raptor/ngLayout/newLayout/whateverElseTheyWi llCallIt). Now, I realize that Mozilla is in development and is not optimized, but even IE 4 was better.
Someone already mentioned IE's ability to save state and remember previous entries in form fields. It also has a pretty consistent interface for browsing files, history, bookmarks, etc.
Windows has terrible stability problems, but I have had far fewer problems with IE itself than I have with Netscape 4.x. IE is now a better browser than any version of Netscape or Mozilla. I only hope Mozilla will compare when it is done. Will it ever be done? I downloaded the code March 31, 1998 and that browser was more complete(albeit basically 4.0) than what it is now(a year and three months is a LONG time).
They shouldn't make an rpm because Linux is NOT the only thing going. They have a pretty standardized install for the different Unices. As for those considering NT for major systems, I hope they know they can't do an OFA install on NT. I learned to read before I lost my first tooth. I assume you can read too. Print out the installation guide and follow it. If you can't, you don't need to be running Oracle anyway.
I admit, it is a difficult installation, but take your time and it should come out ok. I didn't even change the shared memory values in the kernel, although I might when the Oracle box actually goes into heavy production. It could be easier, but do you really expect Oracle to make an rpm?
looks like it might be time to find another OS.

Someone mentioned the Mac version, but there are Solaris and HP-UX builds as well and I'm sure *someone* uses them.
thanks...did not know about that

...and I just installed 2.2.4. I will have to get to it later.
