I'm disappointed in this. I'm a developer who works at Oracle and over the last 4 years have been using SuSE there. I was using SuSE in Oracle long before Oracle's partnership with SuSE and have made SuSE the linux of choice throughout development in the UK. In my opinion the Oracle only on SLES was a bad idea. Even products like JDeveloper (very nice Java IDE) are only verified against SLES - who in their right mind wants to run SLES as a desktop just to use desktop software? This was the slippery slope as far as Oracle and SuSE were concerned (in my opinion). Sad. Jamie -- Jamie O'Shaughnessy jamie.oshaughnessy@ntlworld.com

We had nothing to do with this, in fact we offered to help them support the desktop versions, or *a* desktop version. Oracle has always said to us and everyone for a long time, even when SuSE was the only one getting new certifications, that their goal is to support the "enterprise editions" of both SuSE and RedHat. It doesn't exactly hurt us that SuSE support now also means to support Caldera and TurboLinux, the two distros Oracle used to support before going SuSE/RedHat-only... Well, Larry. Bad for us, sure, but I don't waste one thought on it, cannot change what he says anyway, and whatever he says has little to do with what happens on the low level, meaning what gets certified/supported etc., this is S-VP level at Oracle at most (2 levels below Larry) and details not worth his time. Maybe fortunately for us since he seems to remember the name "RedHat" only... He is there to make the big PR waves occasionally... and he seems to be quite successful one must admit. Michael
Immediate, knee jerk reaction to the first few paragraphs is its a backeres war - IBM vs Oracle, or United Linux vs RH, or U.S. enterprise vs Eurasian enterprise (gee U.S. vs Eurasian - the preponderance of the populations alone bodes well for Eurasian ventures). Or another take is Ellision is sharing that crack pipe with those guys at RH. Ellison, in his own way, is as bad or worse than Ransom Love. Talk about OCD (obssessive compulsive disorder), I mean wtf is up with Larry and the word "unbreakable" anyway?!?!?! Cheers, Curtis P.S. This articles bright side in the subtext is that M$ is essentially cut out of the picture - more or less a small time player and basically a non-player.
