[Novalug] Oracle 9i on Debian etch

[Zakai Kinan]

Our customer uses it on VMS and they have no plans to
upgrade to 10/11g.  I decided to install it on a
windows 2000 server instead since I dont have time to
work with it on Debian.  I will try unbreakable linux
on VMware to check it out.


thanks for all of the info,


ZK
