Built on grid computing and due to debut at Oracle World, Oracle 10G marks the company’s biggest technology release in a decade. Can Oracle tackle the grid & PeopleSoft, too? Read it at eWEEK.

Will they support Red Hat 9 in Oracle 10G?
Considering that Oracle is probably putting up the lion’s share of the money to get Oracle 9i and RedHat Advanced Server certified at Common Criteria EAL2, I doubt it.
Redhat Linux AS 3.0 will be released in about 60 days. Oracle 9i and 10G will be certified on it at release.
Redhat 8/9 are not officially supported but there is a HOWTO here: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_sing… that works pretty well. We run 9i on RedHat 8 without problems for a development environment. We are most likely going to move to RedHat AS for the support though, when we move into a production environment.
Jason,
Have you had a chance to run RedHat AS? If so how does it compare with other “big name” AS providers, Oracle, BEA etc…
Thanks

I have tried a lot of these how-to’s to get Oracle 9i on Redhat 9 but none work. The native kernel POSIX thread thing really messes things up
I do know that you have to set an environment variable, LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4 or something similar to get it to use the old threading model.
But again, we use RedHat 8 so we haven’t had this problem.
I do know that Redhat AS 3.0 will be using the NPTL so the version of Oracle certified for it will most likely run on RedHat 9 without a problem.
From the slides shown at the conference, Redhat AS 2.1 is based off the Redhat 7.x series while it appears Redhat AS 3.0 is based off the Redhat 8/9 tree.
“Have you had a chance to run RedHat AS? If so how does it compare with other “big name” AS providers, Oracle, BEA etc…”
The AS in RedHat Enterprise Linux AS stands for “Advanced Server”, not “Application Server.” App serviers like Oracle 9i AS would run on top of an OS like Windows or RedHat Enterprise Linux AS.
RedHat doesn’t produce an Application Server that I am aware of.
However, we have seen a good increase in performance and throughput using Oracle 9i DB on RedHat 8 compared to running the same on Windows 2000 Server.
