Today I gave a shot to install [Oracle
|
||
Linux](http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/linux/overview/index.html). I thought I could easily install
|
||
an Oracle DBA on it. Well, I was naive.
|
||
|
||
As only the 5.2 version is supported by XenServer 5.5, I downloaded that
|
||
version of Oracle Linux. Installing it was surprisingly fast and easy, it
|
||
asked almost nothing, and booted without any problems.
|
||
|
||
After this came the DBA, 10.2, which bloated an error message in my face
|
||
saying that this is an unsupported version of Linux. Bah.
|
||
|
||
Is it only me, or is it really strange that Oracle doesn’t support their own
|
||
distro?
