Hello Tony,
Thanks for the info -I wish I had checked my mail last night... I was
just deciding at that point that the sensible way to go would be with
a Red Hat install, both for level of manufacturer support and for PHB
credibility. And I have just wiped Ubuntu off the machine in readiness
for putting RH on it ;-(
BUT having seen your encouraging post I am going to keep a wee spare
partition with a new U64 install on it just to experiment with this
issue! Software brings out a stubborn streak in me sometimes...
Agree with you about oracle. Their installation processes have always
been breathtaking in the arrogance of the assumptions they make, IME.
