    Sorry to disappoint everyone - no double act . . . here's my "blog":

    - wasted about a week of "fiddling" time trying to get FC2 to recognise a prehistoric SCSI card (aha151) - in the end had to borrow something more modern.
    - wasted some more time running out of space (only have 0.4, 2.0 and 2.4 GB disks - basically it's scrap hardware).
    - had to learn about X-server 'coz I skrewed up over Tim Hall's*** installation instructions (my fault - logon and su AREN'T the same thing!)
    - "fiddled" a 9.2 db creation script until it worked for 10g.
    - netmgr & dbca ran "straight out of the box"

    Actually I'm disappointed too - I haven't had half as much fun as ptreeves had What am I doing wrong?

    Perhaps the only real disappointment was how much hard work the process was, if you don't have vast amounts of memory & disk. I'd installed Win2000 server and 8.1.7 on this machine in one evening (with time for dinner and playing with the cat) - couldn't do that with Fedora & 10g (even without the mistakes). Surprised how much resource Linux needs.

    *** must add that, if followed to the letter, Tim's instructions work perfectly. Thanks Tim.

    Why don't you buy one of these?

    Then you will be able to run Oracle.

    I've been using OpenOffice exclusively for over a year, swapping documents (.doc/.xls/ .ppt) with work collegues seamlessly.

    It might even be better for a news letter because you can export your document in Acrobat format -- it's a great feature.
