Is it not? There are two of them, the 2000 and the SE. 


The SE has rather simple structure and is easily set up (apart from
said problem, which I just solved three minutes ago by 'ln -s
/etc/master.passwd shadow'  =3D8). 


Do you know for sure that a linux Oracle binary runs on NetBSD? IBM's
DB/2 stuff does not, and the installer sucks rocks through a straw on
NT as well as the lunix version.


The SE, on the contrary, feels very unixish in the best sense. And for
performance... this is a developer setup.
