  2. Re:Sorry, but this is NOT true on Oracle to Offer RedHat Support? · · Score: 1

    Oracle runs just fine on RedHat. We have thousands of RedHat boxes running Oracle for hundreds of customers at my site alone for at least the last 3 years. Multi-tier, RAC, etc.

    I am an RHCE working for Oracle. We do not have any problem supporting RedHat internally. Larry is talking about support for Oracle customers.

    I agree. The web was not disigned for applications, and technologies that try to use it for such are kludges. The web should be for hypertext documents, and we need a new separate technology for internet apps. For this reason I started the NewI\O project (http://www.newio.org./

    > Open source is a developer model; A business model it is not!

    True. Open source does not have enough information to be a business model, but open source can be a part of a business model. It can me part of a business strategy. Sun Microsystems, for example, is heavily adopting an open source strategy, even to the extent that they are open sourcing thier OS, and CPUs.

    So when you see open source business model, think business model that includes an open source strategy. Most models then include some sort of addendum to make money, such as sell support, or to marginalize a competitor's strategic product, like thier cash cow.

    You were told wrong. It runs fine on 128MB. You
    do need to turn off the fancy graphics, but even
    so the graphics are better than they were, which
    is plenty good enough.

    In fact I know someone who is playing succesfully
    post expansion with only 64MB.

    The new zones are not slow and work fine. They
    are very interesting and different. I recommend
    that you make yourself a Kitty!

    There were problems with the patch, but the latest
    patch fixes most of them. The upgrade was
    significant so it is not surprising that there
    were problems, but it looks like everything is
    going to be ok.
