[Zope-DB] Oracle 8.1.7.1 on Solaris 8

[Jorge O. Martinez]

Dario:

We are planning to install it on a lower end Sun box, a single processor 
UltraSPARC IIi, but those problems seem pretty nasty anyway. Anyone has 
more recent experience with Solaris on lower end HW? BTW Thanks for your 
feedback Dario and Paul.

Regards,

Jorge M.
