please welcome Oracle 11g
Oracle 11g has recently been released so it's time for everyone to submit their colourful screenshots into the 'Oracle 11g banner version' competition. Well, nearly everyone.

I just installed Oracle 11g onto a VMware server running Redhat Enterprise Linux 4.0. It actually took me more time to configure VMware tools and successfully share the folder staging the distribution than to install and configure Oracle.
The virtual server had a mere 512MB of memory and was hosted on a Thinkpad T43 laptop with 2GB memory.

I own up. It's a fair cop. It is 27 years and 5 months since my last confession. Since then, I have sinned, Holy Father. In fact, I have committed an absolutely heinous crime. Please forgive me for I have submitted multiple random guesses. May the high priests (and priestesses) of the BAAG movement, please have mercy on my wretched soul. Recently, I have been guilty of supporting and even proposing a multitude of 'any guesses', all of which were proposed as possible solutions to solve a critical system problem on a production system:- I failed to cough and splutter ...

Which reminds me of a funny story... I am currently working in the North East on an 'escalation'.
