Oracle/Linux expert. Well, I installed it 8.something once a few years ago :(
First, it is not fun. Second, don't put anything other than Oracle on the box . . . it positively does not play nice with others. As far as the install is concerned, it was pretty straightforward, but the configuration was a royal pain. I remember thinking "wow, this is great" when I was installing, but all went downhill from there. If I remember correctly, it works best if you place the different parts of Oracle on different partitions. I don't remember why, and I may be getting it mixed up with the Windoze Oracle installs I've done. I did the install on a Deb box. Are you aware you can go to tech.oracle.com and, theoretically, download a copy of it. If you have a spare box around you can install on it and have a better feel for what you are getting yourself into. I trashed the install after I had done it and put postgre on instead. I mainly did it to prove I could. postgre plays nice with others. If you have any problems and can not find someone with more recent experience, write me and I'll try to help. Remember, all this was a couple of years ago, so I'm assuming things have changed a bit. Rod > Does anyone know much about Oracle on Linux?
