Is anybody running any release of Oracle under FreeBSD ?
We have a need to use Oracle and may have to move to Solaris x86
if we can't get Oracle under FreeBSD.  We like FreeBSD and would
like to keep using it.  Another downside for Solaris is that 
Netscape Web server wouldn't run under it.   

Oracle is supposed to release ELF binaries soon.  Would that help ?
Last I knew ELF was not supported under FreeBSD.  Is it going to
change anytime soon ?

Thanks.
