Oracle only natively runs on Linux, Solaris and NT. It's actually in the license that you can't run it on anything else. PostgreSQL is going to be the database used.. I'm getting one of these motherboards because we've already purchased a large amount of SDRAM and don't want to use Intel's RDRAM hack on their new i840 chipsets.. We need 64-bit PCI slots for these Ultra 160 SCSI drives and controllers (Yum!). Anyway..
