I've been following this thread and I've checked the Oracle and FreeBSD sites. And I've discovered that Oracle is not released in a FreeBSD version but is released in a Linux version which - apparently - runs even better on FreeBSD with Linux emulation. Unfortunately that's not a combination likely to have an immediate appeal to people concerned with operational reliability. And since they use the Oracle DBMS, TPTB at my new job have opted for Sun Solaris. However, they have made an exception. Since I said I was familiar (!) with FreeBSD they have suggested that, since they are now getting too big to use hosts for name resolution, my first project when I start with them next month will be to set up a name server running on FreeBSD. So my question is does anyone know whether/when Oracle plans a FreeBSD version? mvh/regards James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
