[plug] Calling all DB guru's

And to that you need to add the Oracle8 database -- so you might as
well download the latest -- 8i -- which is only a 260Mb download.

It needs a minimum of 256Mb of RAM to work properly (if you
enable the JavaVM), and if you want to run the app server on the same box
you can add another 128Mb I guess. Installed both products will take about
500Mb of disk space, without a database.

Oh, and 8i needs glibc 2.1 so you'll probably need to upgrade or re-install
your distro.

Have fun :-)

Have you had a look at the Oracle web site?

I understand that you can download Oracle 8 Application Server for Linux for
free.

It's only a 280MB download.
