(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.. julian Steve Shoecraft wrote: > > > > I too run Oracle 7 (7.3.3.5.1) on HP-UX (10.20).
