If Oracle is more popular than Sybase because of Marketing that means you can fool (at least most-) of ALL the IT Professionals MOST of the time. Not so. The fault dear Brutus...
People who make their living implementing systems don't make decisions based on advertisements.
The Linux port is great because it works the same, including all of the same functionality, as Oracle on every other port.
8i IS selling well. Adoption of new features and functionality takes time. The article you've noted is FAR more COMPLIMENTARY to 8i than its headline suggests.
Regretably, NT is a far larger market than Linux; that's why 8i came out on NT first. From here on out, though, I don't suspect you'll see a 4 month lag between the Linux and NT ports.
Oracle is well aware of the importance of Linux.
Want some numbers?
- Over 50K developers have downloaded Oracle8 for Linux from the Oracle Tech Network. Already. Let's see how 8i-Linux does over the next month or so. Should be great-
- 20K others have already pre-registered for 8i on Linux. Hope those disks are going out NOW.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 2.0 is (now) Java. You shouldn't have trouble running it on Linux.
WebDB is all HTML; shouldn't have trouble running it on Linux.
Near as I can tell, Oracle is in the process of moving all of its' Development Tools to Java. Good for Linux don't you think?
