One note on the Veritas and RAID. Do NOT let that be your security blanket. One of the servers at work went south and left the system completely unrecoverable. I had heard that it was a mismatch of the Veritas file system and the RAID.
If I had my choice of journaling file systems, I'd go with AIX's JFS. That is a easy to configure and *solid* (in my expirence) file system. I wish IBM would port it to Linux. I'd even pay $ for it.
No Oracle expirence, but on a X86 I would tend to favor Linux over solaris as I think Linux does have better HW support than solaris does. Plus I won't even start to do anything on a Solaris system until it's had the recommended patches applied (There's some really scary things that are broken there in Solaris). I actually think the Linux environment is more stable.
Considering you can get RAID solutions for Linux and it does work nicely with Network Applicance boxes I don't think that linux would be such a bad choice.
Ahh but one of the parents is around around, and no they don't. They can't get on the net without a parent around. ( And yes browser controls are in place for them as well... )
I feel sorry for those people who think that they need government help in every phase of thier life.
It's the *parents* responsibility to watch thier children. If you as a parent cannot be responsible for what your children do that's your problem not the government. The same thing applies to TV and other media.
I don't know why people think it is necessary to have the government solve thier personal problems.
And yes my wife and I do watch what our kids watch on TV and sites they goto on the internet.

What's the workaround?
I've got a 2.2 kernel and real audio doesn't work.
