We have an NC-server here to evaluate. (from NC corp..) (aka oracle)

It's a FreeBSD box and it has a fully native FreeBSD oracle on it..

My sugestion:

ask NC corp to sell you a NC server
get the oracle pre-installed :-)

I haven't tried upgrading to a newer FreeBSD, but My guess is that 
it might work. It's NCOS 2.0 (whatever version of FreeBSD on earth 
THAT actually is..)

If I knew anything about Oracle I'd have tar'd it up and tried 
running it on a newer FreeBSD by now..
