Carranza G." X-Sender: victor@mp-dbs.mp.intralex To: FreeBSD Questions mailing list Subject: Oracle on Linux... Arggh! :( Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Maybe this is old stuff, I have been off-line some time... Today, I have read (in the Oracle website) that Oracle is planning to release a Linux version of their software... According to their website: "The Linux operating system, which began as a development project with strong support from the Internet community, has become one of the fastest growing UNIX platforms in the enterprise--with an estimated 7 million users, according to Linux Online (www.linux.org). Available free on the Internet, Linux is a strong leader in the Internet service provider market and currently provides a compelling alternative to Windows NT on Intel." And what the hell about FreeBSD???? It seems like better performance and stability (rock solid in fact) does not sell anymore :( Oracle people in my country does not even know anything about FreeBSD. They allways say: "oh, yes... I think it is one of those free OS's available from the Internet... it is not a serious OS." Arghh! :( Sorry fellows... those news from Oracle gave me a horrible stomachache, and I had to tell somebody. -Victor P.S. Please... could somebody give me pointers to articles or websites about the NCOS=FreeBSD formula. I need weapons to fight the FreeBSD-unaware-Oracle-support people here.
