I think we're seeing a steady migration to FreeBSD from Linux, which in turn is seeing a steady migration from Solaris, which in turn is picking up the SCO/AIX/HP-UX strays, so strategically it makes sense. > In an attempt to placate his concerns about supporting a test download > like this, we informed him that the FreeBSD community is used > to figuring > out things on their own, and that we could possibly have a > couple of DBA > contacts within the community act as primary contacts for initial > support and an oracle specific mailing list. I'm happy to help out in that regard, and I work for a University in the UK which has an Oracle site license and my department assists tech companies in the region, and so I might be able to offer some real-world support as well.
