So much for the Linux revolution. Only 4% of my readers use Linux as their desktop of choice (me, counting as 1%). That only slightly beats out MacOS X. How depressing.

Don't give up too much hope. Oracle is , primarily, a corporate application. In the corporate world, Windows is still the only thing on the desktop. I would expect that many more of your readers use Linux on their own PC (I know I do). As well, I would expect a much higher percentage of the Oracle servers that your readers use are hosted on linux machines.
I am running SUSE 9.3 on my laptop and use VMWARE 5 to have access to XP.
Although everything works fine, I found that the whole DVD, and music arena is bit of a hit/miss event.
I am running RH4/RAC at home with ASM and that has been fine.
I have moments I like to go back to XP, but force myself to get a decent Linux desktop experience so I can make a valued decision. SUSE 9.3 has been very good on my Dell 8500 laptop. So sofar so good , but as I said before it still has a lot of very rough edges.
Yeah, I can agree with that. I've got RH9 running on an older box as my home system and even upgrading the video card became a real nightmare with twiddling X settings and such. I specifically bought a card that was Linux friendly and it took me a couple nights before everything was working fine.
I would be one of the Windows users, :D
Been trying to get to Linux but it is tough moving away from one where I have a lot of the software already installed plus the current machine is shared amongst the various family members.
