Frank,
this is the second time (as far as I can tell now) that you insist on
this point in this thread, but Ed is right:
Never did care that much for blanket statements.
If I depend on say "Oracle" and since Oracle is proprietary I should
not run it on Linux?
I don't know much about big databases, but CAD/CAE is another field
where the best software right now is proprietary _and_ runs much
better on Linux for lots of reasons. Including software that needs
high-end graphics, not just server/CLI apps.
Ciao,
Marco
