Hi Guys
i have been working with Unix for many years, all i know is the command
line way, can you please Stephen explain this to me
**********
PS: You learn UN*X from the command line first, GUI second!
**********

WHERE IS THE GUI VERSIONIN UNIX???????? i think all Oracle DBAs should
have a minimum knowledge of Unix even if their Oracle Databases run on
Microsoft Platforms, Linux Redhat is very similar to Unix Solaris

if you know Sun Solaris, then it will easy to move to Linux.
Regards
