We have someone coming Saturday to install Linux and Oracle 10g on his laptop in order to explore and learn about using Oracle. He has 40GB of the drive set aside for this (windows on the other 40 GB). I know nothing about Oracle so it would help to have someone come who could give advice, handle the Oracle install, and chat with him about his goals. -- Dazed_75 a.k.a.
