Hello everyone, I have been using FreeBSD since 4.x for web related applications (php, = Apache, PostgreSQL, Postfix, Cyrus IMAP, etc.), and while I am not an = expert, I feel quite comfortable. Lately I find myself in situations where I have I have to take care of = legacy Oracle (10g on Windows) and Interbase (6 on Linux) databases and = sometimes legacy OS which need to be run for some time in a virtual = machine, and I have difficulties to accomplish this with FreeBSD - no = Oracle port, no Interbase port and only VirtualBox support, which is a = bit unclear to me. What is the recommended parallel way for a person, who feels comfortable = with FreeBSD, when FreeBSD cannot do the job? - i. e. is it a good idea = to go towards Solaris, instead of Linux? Or rather go towards some sort = of Linux? Thank you, Iv=
