I totally agree! helping those who have already proved themselves as being a part of the "elite" isn't really going to help the world at all. I'm sorry, but building good dynamic web sites isn't that hard. Why provide education to those who can educate themselves? Who and what does this promote? Mr "Tcl/AolServer" Greenspun? or the web as a whole?
Be sure to separate dynamic and static content. Make sure your servers that are hitting the database and generating content are not wasting cpu and memory serving images. Make sure that you use HTTP Headers to your advantage. By setting these correctly, you can benefit from cacheing on the client end, as well as on a front end server (SQUID, mod_proxy, etc.). Find a tool that lets you seperate code and HTML. Perl Modules work great in conjunction with mod_perl and one of the embedded perl Modules (HTML::Mason, HTML::Embperl, ePerl, etc.) However, many tools allow you to do similar things, Java Server Pages. The key is to be consitent and keep the logic separated from the layout and display.
Why shouldn't they make an rpm? They are selling a product. The install has been a problem for several people i know, including myself. Several of these people are running Oracle on NT for major systems. Do you think they'll be encouraged to switch to linux after they couldn't install, much less benchmark, test or play with, the single most important piece of software they run. Anyway, why should installation be so hard?

One of the only books that addresses the hairy issue of creating complicated hierarchies in SQL.
Very rewarding if you really sit down with it.
We've been passing it around the office for 6 months now.
does oracle suggest using files or raw partitions?
