[NTLUG:Discuss] Oracle on Intel

[Wayne Walker]

Fred,

Like Bob said.  yes, you can run Oracle onm Fedcora, BUT Oracle is
finnickier than any cat that ever lived.  if you are doing anything
other than playing with Oracle as a mental exercise, run it on RHEL (and
pay RedHat for the work they've put into it) or use CentOS.

Trying to run Oracle on Fedora for anything important will cause you
much pain and agony for no real gain.

OR

use MySQL with any distro.  MySQL "just works".  :)

Wayne <RHEL/CentOS/MySQL junkie>
