Sorry this is off-topic for this list, but wanted to point this out just
in case this is a legit technical problem, though it may just be
unfounded FUD.

Some guy here is claiming that he found some nasty corruption in Red Hat
AS + Oracle that causes "total data corruption".  He said the following:


Enterprise Not      (#27682)
by Anonymous Reader on 2002.09.25 17:32 

 We've been running Redhat Advanced Server for 6 months with Oracle
Applications. Recently we've discovered some serious flaws in AS, where
you can cause total data corruption. This is not the case with 7.2

Talking to RedHat support.
RH: You only have basic support, so we can't help you. Would you like to
buy gold support?

US: This is a serious kernel issue, total data corruption, easily
repeatable.

RH: Yes, but you only have basic support.

Since we pushed to run Linux, and now we're living day to day on
eggsheels waiting for the box to corrupt itself again...
