[TriLUG] Oracle9i AS on Redhat9

[Ryan Leathers]

Jason,

The Oracle site says that if I want to use Suse I need Suse Enterprise 7
Does 7 support 16 CPUs and can I still get 7 ???

Calling Suse puts me in phone tree hell with nary a human voice.
Calling Oracle gets me a human voice who directs me to the web page
telling me to use Suse Enterprise 7.

I wonder if it would be faster to call Novell - wink
