SUN Microsystems We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

> The reason is that you can't get any support for your apps unless you are running Red hat. And support is important in an enterprise environment.

Don't use Oracle.
Use PostgreSQL (on Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake, Ubuntu, ... What you want).
The problem is Oracle and not Red Hat !
Red Hat does _not_ sell Oracle.

ps : PostgreSQL and MySQL are supported by Red Hat. Red Hat don't force you to use Oracle.
ps2 : MySQL 4.1/php 5.0.1 have a license that satisfy Red Hat. They will be in FC4.
