[Gllug] Oracle and Linux

I ran Oracle 9(.something) on slackware, a nightmare setup due to some
dodgy ram, but once running was spot on. I'm fairly sure slacky isn't
'supported' (couldn't much reference to anyone else doing same) but like
I say, once up it stayed up.

Which is ironic really.  One company hired us to sort out their internal

systems, they develop a product based on Oracle.  We found that Oracle 
running on Debian was vastly more stable that Oracle running on a 
"supported" platform.
