Not Debian. Not SuSE. Not FreeBSD (the other Linux distribution). I have yet to talk to our local DBA and find out how many times a month he calls oracle for support and if it is an OS level support or not? -- Yan -- "My experience and some of my friends' experience is that Linux is quite unreliable. Microsoft is really unreliable but Linux is worse. In a non-PC environment, it just won't hold up. If you're using it on a single box, that's one thing. But if you want to use Linux in firewalls, gateways, embedded systems, and so on, it has a long way to go." - Ken Thompson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
