Hmm... getting Oracle to work on an unsopported Linux distribution can be a pain (especially Oracle 8i, go with 9 or 10 if you can) but I have always seemed to be able to get it going under debian stable.

I think you meant "disagree" here...

Damn it! That's the first thing I searched for too:-)

I'm actually quite happy with R. I don't use it, my company sells and supports it (maybe 1000 or more installations in our country). The work that is going on is probably because of my (or my bosses') requests:-)
I'm glad you replied, as its nice to meet people on slashdot that you actually relate to in some way.
Anyways, R is quite a reliable and easy-going software, our support calls are usually along the lines of "How do I make a cover page?" instead of "My system is b**rked, wtf is going on?" that you get with other products.
Plus, most of the time the faults when interacting with other systems (Siebel, SAP, Notes, whatever) are because the customer has some MCSE admin doing the work instead of a qualified tech.

Maybe you could fix the SMTP gateway functionality in "R"?
Can't change the message it sends (Registry -> SMTP_MSGS_0 = You have recieved a fax), can't disable notification of "Bad characters in fax number" and a few other quirks.
Plus, UTF-8 would be nice:-)
bah. don't listen to me.
I have been using these 2 for a while and like them a lot. Ethereal works wonderfully on linux, windows but Capsa is win only. I like the Capsa filtering setup, it's easy to identify who's talking to who and what they're telling each-other. Found it kind of similar to Sniffer Pro, but like Capsa a lot more:-)

Post a link from slashdot to your IP!
For all the rest of the people that think tht Photoshop is better than Gimp (or that haven't even heard of the Gimp for that matter), maybe?
... when they make 5 year averages of TCO with an OS that hasn't existed for 5 years.
better yet: "Let's steer them THAT way!"
