I know it’s been said before, but I read this and thought, once Red Hat’s market value starts to drop Oracle could get a really good deal.
I thought the reference to the quality of Red Hat’s support was quite comical. I’ve always found their support to be terrible. To be more specific, you raise a [...]
I’ve been using Kickstart and network installations for a while now. I think the last time I wrote about it was in RHEL3 days (here).
Well I finally got round to having a look at PXE Network Installations, which just tags an extra bit onto the start to save you running round with boot CDs.
PXE Network [...]
I had a play around yesterday and installed Oracle 11gR2 on Fedora 12:
Fedora 12 (F12) Installation
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) Installation On Fedora 12 (F12)
I think this might be the last time I install Oracle on Fedora. Why? For two reasons:
When I first started doing installs on Red Hat 7 (pre Enterprise Linux) it [...]
It’s that time again where I check to see if Oracle installs on the latest version of Fedora. The result once again is yes, it does. The main website has the links to the articles. I would add links here only the browser on this internet cafe machine doesn’t support cut & pates.
When [...]
Fedora 10 has just been released.

I was part way through watching The Incredible Hulk on the flight to New Zealand when my Individual On-Demand System crashed and restarted. I watched with geeky pleasure as Linux booted up. I couldn’t tell the exact version, it went too quick, but I saw “Red Hat” in the text and there was a picture [...]
It looks like those possible VMware ESX articles I mentioned yesterday are now on the VIOPS site.
10g RAC on RHEL4 using ESX Server and NFS
11g RAC on RHEL5 using ESX Server and NFS
If you’re interested in the enterprise VMware kit it’s worth taking a look at the site. New stuff is being added all [...]
I wrote a couple of articles against a beta version of Fedora 9 before I went on holiday. I did a run through against the final release of Fedora 9 today and they seem fine, so here they are:
Fedora 9 (F9) Installation
Oracle Database 11g On Fedora 9 (F9)
The installation process doesn’t give you the option [...]
During his unconference session at OpenWorld 2007, Lutz Hartmann used rlwrap to give SQL*Plus and RMAN command line history and basic editing functionality. Like the Windows Process Explorer post I wrote recently, this is another example of a gizmo I’ve used in the past then completely forgotten about, so I’m grateful to Lutz for reminding [...]
My Fedora 8 escapades were delayed by my OpenWorld experience, but better late than never.
Fedora 8 (F8) Installation
Oracle 11g On Fedora 8 (F8)
The first article is a run through of a fairly basic Fedora 8 install, showing what it looks like. The second is the Oracle install guide in my normal format. There’s one little [...]
