may be.
My own problem with FreeBSD (and motivation of my negative
answer on question about use FreeBSD as in enterprise
commerce ( -- sorry, for poor English) ) is next:
1. I now work in one enterprise project.
2. As my favorite OS is FreeBSD, I set it for gateway, proxy,
and in near future -- web server.
3. I want to work on FreeBSD, but
We have DB on Oracle.
We need to develop applications on this DB, to build
enterprise-whide system.
At first, I got Oracle drivers for thin Java client, but after looking
on kaffe and jdk this idea was dropped.
(Working of such applications in browser, for many reasons,
is the wery bad solution).
Now I have next choice:
1. Got a client Oracle from SCO, and run all under SCO emulator.
(tk/perl, c++ )
2. Write RPC stubs to oracle OCI.
it is the best solution, but it require time, which we do not have.
3. Drop FreeBSD ans switch to SCO or PC-solaris.
May be anybody tell me, how to be ?
Than I will tell all, that FreeBSD good in enterprise use.
Now we develop software for Win, and it's really aid.
