For comparison : I have RH7.1 on PIII/800MHz with Ora9i and scsi. The boot time
is less than the quoted 2 minutes. The longest process was firing up the ora
background processes.
Local network : NIC's and a switch, no bridges/routers etc. I could SQLNet /
telnet into it from W98 on local network, jdbc works find, delivering info from
db to W98 laptop...
I do not think the problem is with RH.
