If you need Oracle, don't use FreeBSD, it's not officially supported
and for the money it costs, you really don't want to run it on
unsupported platforms (SuSE Linux being one of several free supported
ones). Besides, the Linuxolator very well works but still it's a
hack and in my case certainly not something I'd want to base the
future of my business on.

If you want to use FreeBSD, stick to Postgresql or Firebird (GPL'ed
Interbase) or maybe SAPdb (which has got a largely Oracle compatible
mode). Lets you also safe lots and lots of money (that is if your apps
run without Oracle, of course [1]).

As to Samba, that one hardly needs support. You just need to watch out
to apply their fixes on time. I think there are some FreeBSD
support companies but none as big as the Linux crowd but their staff
might very well be more competent than the average Linux supporter.

Tuxedo I've never even heard about.

As for native Oracle on FreeBSD, I wouldn't hold my breath as few
people
would even want it.

Best regards,
 Gabriel


[1] Too bad Compiere still doesn't. Gna. Oracle is a bitch to install
on whatever OS and I really don't feel like going thru that trouble
just to give Compiere a test ride.
