Geekish Stuff

After spending some time around to get Oracle 10g working on Debian (unstable repository), finally I did it!
I needed a starting guide, since who made Oracle 10g built it only for some privileged distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server. Aside this problem, disguising my Debian was quite simple. Finally I had some problems starting and stop Oracle services, as well as the main database. This one saved my life doing that.

By the way I was wondering to create this Howto, but someone got ahead of me, which is great. A perfect Xen setup for Debian is a good title but it’s based on Xen 2.0, which still needs a patched kernel to meet its requirements. Xen 3.0 will be the cornerstone of (para)virtualization when it reaches to the stable version. It already broke the Windows milestone without needing to patch Windows or Linux whatsoever. Will we watch OpenBSD running on Xen without escaping OpenBSD philosophy? Hope so…

First things, first. I’m not a native english speaker thus my english might not the be great deal. However I’ll do my best to be understandable for those who might be reading this.

All my post’s will focus to my geek side of life and provide some helpfull tips if you are planning to follow my steps. I’ll try to compile some usefull information in order to facilitate your tasks (as well as mine).

This is it…

P.S: This first post is just to grab attention to my english skills and is sujected to be deleted over time…
