<div id="RTEContent">Thanks Joyce! I didn't install the ION, I have so many other things on the list already. I started with the 5.10 Badger, then was upgraded to 6.04, now I'm at 7.01 w/ 2.6.12-10 Kernel. I'm on the Apache 2 common/threaded server, w/Courier Imap SSL 3.0, Firefox 2.0 and Thunderbird on POP3 Yahoo DSL. It sounds like a strange combination, but there's hardly anywhere I can't go! I'm a comp. networking systems & IT student at ITT Technical, and am really getting into the Unix/Linux programs. So much of the studies at school, the other students, and most of the teachers are Microsoft Windows fanatics. In the last 1 1/2 years I've had MS-DOS, 95, 98, 98SE, XPHome, XP Pro, & for the last 2 months Ubuntu Linux. None of my Windows programs held up to my work load, or to the adware/spyware/viruses that are on the web. They don't have the developer programs on Windows that I find and use on Linux either. If you do find a program you want, you have to mortgage the house, car, wife & kids to afford to buy it! I think that's a little rediculous! Linux programs are getting hot! If Windows doesn't get it's Longhorn Shorthorn Vista thing-a-ma-jiggy out soon, they may not find anybody that wants it! The way things are going up, it may cost $700 for home version anyway! But enough of the soapbox preaching. Right now, I'm studying database systems management with Access/Oracle. I believe that if I study as many different programs as I can, when I graduate with that CNS & IT degree, I should have a better chance of getting a great job, maybe as Developer/Administrator or such!

I found a link where the author says he found an interesting way to get Oracle function, I thought it may interest you. For the diverses apps you say, it may be useful for one thing or another. I'm not running a server, I'm on a 56k with a serial modem, and I use an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ with a 2.6.12-10-k7 kernel under Breezy. (Plus Slackware I was starting to meet with, but it's broken for now). The k7 kernel is better for my burn CD device, and I'd like to take the time to learn to/and compile the kernel one of these days. The environment: for a server, none is really necessary ? :D I've got Gnome and Xfce and Ion3 plus Konqueror for navigation in the files under Ion3 once a while, as nicer looking with it's pretty colours and icons. I use most Gnome and Ion3 : Xfce4.2 is in between boths. (more heavy than Ion3... lighter, than Gnome... ). I practically never use it anymore since I discovered Ion3 which is really a good affair! For Oracle and this link, I would try and follow this doc step by step, if I needed to get it work :) Best greetings, Joyce markoll.

I have the My SQL + PostGreSQL among others, 2.0 Open Office, a Bourne Again shell and i386 on AMD w/K7support. I have Macros, and several different Java programs, including the Sun Java programs that Oracle requires. Should all of this really be necessary? > It seems as though I have enough files and such to set up a network database for a thousand computers! Is the main problem the Debian kernel program? Everything I see on the Oracle site, and others say; "Debian won't accept this, Debian won't work with this, Debian this, Debian that, etc.........................!" What's the hangup? > Thank You!
