Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
Having previously spent a couple of years running Linux as a primary desktop OS, it's good to see that Oracle has maintained cross-platform support for not only it's server products, but also desktop developer tools. Well, some of them anyway ;o)

This page is primarily a lure to prompt other Oracle developers / users to contribute their experiences of using Oracle products on various Desktop Linux distributions.

I have just rebuilt a laptop with Ubuntu 7.10 so I will be contributing my experiences of the following:

  • Oracle XE database
  • Application Express
  • SQL Developer
  • JDeveloper

All of the above I'm expecting just to work :o)
And then...

  • An Enterprise Edition Database
  • Application Server

I'm expecting more fun with these as they're not supported on Ubuntu and from previous experiences with CentOS, that usually means a bit of fiddling is required - even though it's a RHEL clone.

I'm sure someone's probably walked this path before, so I'll be posting links to useful resources as I find them.

All contributions welcome.
