I was wondering whether I should install it on Linux (maybe Debian) or FreeBSD. Be frankly, I like FreeBSD, and would like to stick to it, not transferring to Linux. But I hope there will be more resource for supporting using Oracle on FreeBSD. Otherwise, when people start to use Oracle, they have to reluctantly transfer from FreeBSD to Linux(which is official support from Oracle). > Jennifer, Unfortunatly I do not have a copy of Oracle9i to try out. But if you want to install it following our current documentation and perhaps explain to me what the differences are, I'll be more then happy to update the documentation. Thank you for pointing this out, if you do not get back with us I'll try to aquire a copy of Oracle9i for a doc update. -- Tom Rhodes
