CentOS

I have used a kickstart file successfully from a floppy with this command: boot: linux ks=floppy:/ksxxxx.cfg On a new server, I have no floppy, so I am trying to kickstart from a USB memory stick, and I don't know the file path to use. I have tried: boot: linux ks=/media/USB_DISK/kickstart_5.cfg boo...

I posted the original success-stories question awhile back.
This is an update.

Since January 2006, we have three machines now running Centos4.2,
Oracle and Oracle application server.

No problems, ever.

Here is another page with lots of information about Oracle on Linux.
The author endorses CentOS, but the pages mostly references RedHat

It will find every instance and modify it and it won't ask you if you really mean it. This: 's?old_string?new_string?g' means substitute old string with new...

Oracle may never "certify" CentOS, but we, as a community of users, can share enough information to build a similar level of trust. My own opinion is that too many people have worked for free for too long on Linux to have it ever become a proprietary platform. So, Please use this thread to tell othe...

On CentOS 4.2:

We installed Oracle 10G database version 10.2.0.1.0
And Forms & Reports server version 10.1.2

The Oracle verification script did not flag CentOS 4.2 as being a problem.

Apologize for reposting this from another area, but it was very difficult to get to that general forum from the main menu, so I thought that perhaps people were not seeing this question. My company is an Oracle ISV and we are evaluating using CENTOS to run Oracle database and application server. We ...
