RH switched to a 2.88mb boot image with v7.1. Toshiba laptops only support a 1.44mb boot image, so you can't boot from cd. Write a boot disk and boot it that way. Works fine on my Tecra 8100 and 9000.
This is wrong. Oracle once had 'power-unit' pricing, with a power-unit basicly being cpu cycles multiplied by number of CPU's in a box. You paid per powerunit. There was a 50% up-charge on RISC boxes, so basicly intel and risc pricing was the same. Now all database and server products are priced on number of CPU's in the box, regardless of cpu-cycles.
I've had good luck with Toshiba Tecra's over the years. Dell's are pretty wimpy.
In the last 5 years I've lugged a Tecra 520, 2 Tecra 8000's and a Tecra 8100 through just about every airport in North America. I abuse the hell out of them and the only problem I had was a busted screen on a 8100 when a coworker knocked it from a 6 ft workbench onto a concret floor, while the case was open. Replacement screen cost half as much as the laptop!
Toshiba also has great warranty support in just about every major/minor US city through Unisys or Pomeroy. Never been out of an hours drive of a repair depot when I did have a problem. The early 8000 keyboards *really* didn't like moisture, so I went through a few of them before I realized that spilling Coke on them wasn't a good thing.
I'm not much on automotive mechanics, but I'm still a gear head when it comes to airplanes. I've build a ultralight, and an experiental airplane. I've met lots of other geeks that are also pilots and either own, or have built a plane.
And how is IBM friendlier than Oracle to Linux? Just because they spout lots of FUD and have lots of linix related press releases? Every one of Oracle's tools and products runs on Linux - ask that of IBM.
Actually, if he used Oracle iFS (internet files system) the files could reside in the db (security and ability to get good, clean backups) while being mountable in via many protocols (nfs, samba, http, ftp, etc.)
I often hit files with grep/sed/awk from a unix box that has a iFS filesystem mounted via nfs.
The solution to his problem is iFS, and he probably already has a license for it.

You ask for it, Oracle trys to sell it. Its obvious you never set expectations to begin with. You WOULD own the software, just don't expect any support unless you pay maintaince.
Except that on commerical airliners, the wings also contain 100K+ gallons of fuel. Do you really want to put an electrical generating system in such a close proximity to all that jet-a?
Also, if you deduct the area of the wing that is comprised of moveable surfaces (ailerons, flaps, air brakes, slats) the top surface of the wing is relatively small. The top of the fuselage would be a better place to put solar panels.
I would guess that a air powered turbine would produce more electricity than solor panels; it it would induce some drag, but as long as the plane is flying, it works - unlike solar panels which won't work at night, on overcast days or when flying IFR.
Should this comparison include the thousands of Chinese citizens that were tried for petty crimes and immediatly executed as part of the governments crack down on crime?
They abandoned the Alpha beacuse the lost a IP lawsuit with Intel a few years back. Giving the Alpha away to Intel at yardsale prices keep them for having to fork over $$$ they don't have to Intel. Remember, Compaq has been on the ropes for almost a year.

In any contract work I have ever done, I have made sure that I own the copyright, and give the client a perpetual license for the resulting programs.
If the customer insists on owning the IP, then there is a great reason to raise your rates.

about 5 years ago. Also, Yahmaha has one that they use for spraying crops! It just costs $400k

Never mind that, Oracle is a DOG on Solaris for Intel. It runs MUCH better on Linux - specificly SuSE (as opposed to RedHat)

But they couldn't improve those apps in 11 months, could they?
:)
I just wish Oracle would port its products to Linux on the Alpha.
I know that guy. Dan Peterson, right?

Actually, if you put the db behind the firewall, the tunnel is to port 1521, not port 80.

Oracle's suite of financial, ERP, and CRM applications are available on Linux.

Quiter is definitely better - you don't want noise pollution from a plane at 35k feet disturbing the fish in the Pacific ocean.

Compaq logo? Yeah, HP and Compaq are *planning* a merger, but Compaq is the one being absorbed AND it hasn't happened yet. Someone get a clue.
It won't be released for another month, but Oracle's JDeveloper 9i is very good. Written in Java, I've used the beta on win2K, linux, and solaris.

Wrong. Oracle isn't supported on FreeBSD. Yahoo runs FreeBSD on their front-end webservers, not the backend db servers.
Oracle is only supported for Linux on Intel.
yup - and they hacked in 64-bit filesystem support so you can have data files larger than 3 gig
MSDN subscribers have had the option of getting their software on DVD-ROM for well over a year now.

Belive me, you DON'T want smit for Linux.
