...all the developers have a Windows XP box on their desk, which is nothing more than a glorified vessel for one's internet browser and e-mail client. Each of them also has a dedicated Linux box hosted at Oracle's data center at Austin - this is where development happens.
This article has been written by Indians for an indian website - unless specifically mentioned, it would be the Indian Coast Guard. It would be the same if Fox News mentioned the "Coast Guard" - you'd know it's the US Coast Guard. Are we to hear "Feed the poor before creating a Coast Guard!" now?:)

Oracle Linux?

I work at Oracle right now - and all base development happens on RHEL 3. We are in fact upgrading all developer and QA machines to RHEL 4 over the next couple of months.
Solaris used to be the base development platform around 2 years back, but it's just a porting platform as of today.
After all, you can change your wallpaper in most OSs - this is just the natural progression. I'm sure it's a harder thing to do in Linux owing to the various differing methods for window construction, etc out there.
How many linux machines have you seen with the same look and feel? Comapare this with the number of monotonous Windows machines you see.
