Comment Oracle & Linux = Ancient History (Score 1) 84
Let's see if they actually do something about it that's more impressive than just making their software compatible, this time. Frankly, I hope so.
I've seen Linux as a strategic platform for years. In 1998, using the initial release of "the slash" code base, I had a blog called "ontopofit.com". Before Pythian became successful in the dba managed services space, I used to write on there.
I posted on The Pythian Group Blog earlier this year, reprising and linking to an article that I originally wrote about Oracle on Linux in, get this, 1998! My conclusion:
"I'm calling it Linux and Oracle in the enterprise.
That's where the smart money is. What can NT do to compete with the features that Oracle coupled with Linux can provide? I invite those who may disagree, or who can add to this conversation, to post here with short comments or to submit a dissenting editorial if you like. The more I think about Oracle and Linux in the enterprise, the more I'm sure. Think about it."
Hilarious today, don't you think? :-)
