Oracle made Redhat Enterprise a supported platform, and then it's only supported on RedHat AS/ES (Server versions), not on WS (Workstation version).
This is very different then saying that Oracle considers "Linux" a supported platform. Oracle on Debian or Suse is not well supported by Oracle at all.
And consider that Solaris has actually been cheaper then RHEL in many respects, and you'll see more reasons why Solaris is a common platform for Oracle in a large installation.
Maybe this has changed since 9i. If so, please feel free to enlighten me.

Hey, many Slashdotters are not old enough to rent porn, you insensitive clod.
We are all using SuSE 9.2 and whenever someone goes on google maps, it can no longer make http request anywhere. It litterally kill our net connection.
This problem is not caused by Google's website or a webbrowser. It's doubtful that either could disable your network.
This is most likely a problem at a lower level in your network -- the router, firewall or a http proxy. From your description, my guess is it's a problem with your http proxy.
Note that a 'net connection' is different then just a 'http request'. HTTP is just one protocol which can go over your net connection. Other protocols include FTP, instant messenger protocols (I bet IM clients like AIM and Yahoo IM still work).
As for fixing that, you need to get a netadmin who has a good idea of how networks work.
Personally, I won't use an online dating service until they assign a chaperone to every date. I would like my grandmother to sit on the couch between me and my date, just to make sure that nothing bad happens, like touching hands or getting pregnant.
I'm an innocent girl and I lose my head when the date goes past 8PM.
Can true.com make sure that my date washes his hand after using the bathroom?
Oh, now I'm all flustered. I need to sit down. true.com, can you please give me a ride home?
It's also interesting that you cant' download certain big names off of iTunes.
For instance, look up "Beatles" on iTunes, and you only get 1-2 albums.
If I remember right, Apple Corps the music label (Which produced most of the Beatles Albums) is suing Apple the computer company because they entered the music business.
The RIAA is also not a monopoly because they don't have exclusive control over the music industry.
There is a whole universe of bands and music labels who are not members of the RIAA. However, it's unlikely that you will hear much of this non-RIAA music on the mainstream radio stations.
You can hear alot of the non-RIAA music on smaller, independant and public radio stations.
What version of Firefox is being detected? (Zeropaid is Slashdotted).
The screenshot says that FF "may be vulnerable to a lack of security updates". The English wording there is very odd, but I think it's saying that FF may be out of date.
Does this mean that he's running an older version of Firefox?
Slashdot Mirror
you spend $$ sending humans out to the site rather than just doing task 'x' from your network.
So banks like yours and Wells Fargo are sacrificing security for a little extra profit.
I'm sure there are plenty of crackers who will be perfectly happy to do "task 'x, y & z'" on your web-enabled, Windows machines.
Tell me, will I need to pay a $20 convenience fee to Wells Fargo everytime someone breaks into a Wells Fargo ATM and steals my account information?
I think he meant stole, like stole the ball in basketball.
And your point is?
Stealing the ball in basketball is well within the rules.
What's morally unacceptable about one business competing with other businesses.
American companies have been doing it to businesses in other countries for years. Now that it's happening to you, you start whining.
To bad banks of the world don't read Slashdot to find helpful tips like this.
stole alot of industries away from us are in it for the long term
They didn't "steal" anything. It's a free market. If a Japanese produces a better product then an American company, it's not stealing.
So either play the game, or look to change the game, but either way quit whining.
This new business plan can go with their new name modeled after "GNU's Not Unix":
SCO = "SCO's Court Order"
Yeah, well you get 49 errors with www.google.com.
:)
So 40 errors is an improvement
Such a device already exists, and is used by hundreds of thousands of geeks across the globe!
Bored at work. Bored at work. Getting depressed. Getting depressed.
Oh, new story on Slashdot! Yay! Something to do. Happy! Happy!
Ok. Read story. Not so good after all. Bored at work. Bored at work. Getting depressed. Getting depressed.

This may be hard to believe, but some people have a culture and a social life which doesn't revolve around Television.
TV is fine now and again, but it's rather sad that you talk about a TV show as 'kewl'.

Your humor capability does not contain any decent formatting at all.
Your typical geek is not interested in Politicking. He can be polite, but not interested in engaging in chit chat for the sake of chit chat.
Politicking is not required to have a personality.
The group will function better if the geeks and non-geeks are able to bond a little bit.
If you're the nice but quiet geek who sits in the corner, I'm not sure you'll survive for long at many of the companies I work at.
Yeah, but unfortunately for YOU, Mr. Castro, your Visa was rejected.

That's when you walk up to the woman and say "Pardon me Miss, but when I was your age we had manners."
and a few seconds later you say "Pardon me Miss, but when I was your age we didn't slap strange people at cafes."
Oh, just wait awhile and a lot will become a one word.

If you go deeper into the thread, you'll see another screenshot where MS Antispyware shows John Kery + Jane Fonda as a high-level threat.

Mark in IT: "Hey Jeb, it says here that you are supposed to keep me from reading Slashdot."
Jeb in IT: "Oh yeah, Mark... stop reading Slashdot. And I think you are supposed to stop *me* from reading Slashdot".
Mark in IT: "Ok. Jeb... stop reading Slashdot."
Mark & Jeb together: "Bwahha haha ahahahahahaaaa".
Mark & Jeb continue to read Slashdot.
Well, back in 1992 the web was mostly text. For a 217K image, you didn't view the picture inline on a webpage.
:)
You would download the file and view the image in an external image viewer; sort of like how you would do it via FTP or Gopher.
And yes, I remember having a 1200 Baud modem, which was about as fast as the LHC is right now under the Slashdot effect
