I think we're seeing a steady migration to FreeBSD from Linux, which in
turn is seeing a steady migration from Solaris, which in turn is picking
up the SCO/AIX/HP-UX strays, so strategically it makes sense.

I'm happy to help out in that regard, and I work for a University in the
UK which has an Oracle site license and my department assists tech
companies in the region, and so I might be able to offer some real-world
support as well. I'm relatively new to Oracle, but am looking forward to
getting my hands on the developer's edition and perhaps rolling out a
real infrastructure.
