Not at all. Just meant that one doesn't run their company's Oracle database on
it.
Not because it's not worthy of doing so, but such things just aren't compiled
for it.
You might be able to run Oracle with linuxemu...
Hmmm... I would doubt it until tried... I could imagine that databases
use mmap() havily
and the mmap() of linuxemu is just a hack that that reads the whole
file-mapping in... and writes
the whole thing out again on msync()... thats one reason the startup
time of firefox is so
slow on linuxemu (besides it makes millions of stats/open/access calls
when starting up)
if Firefox runs, anything can!
I have seen so mutch programs breaking in obscure ways while hacking
linuxemu... sure,
sometimes you are lucky and it just works... but still dont expect too
mutch...
