>>If it's just running something like 8i, the Unix community probably won't care (what is a Unix community, anyway), since they bought the box to do what it's doing.<< One thing that's puzzling to me is, if Ellison wants a NON-NT Operating System, he already has one with the Unix Operating System. So why does he want an Oracle OS? I guess he thinks this will reduce costs, and just wants a non-OS machine? A non-OS machine is kind of like a non-CPU machine, it's nonsense.
