Heips!
Note, that this is not official Debian support, this is Debian users'
mailing list.
Anyway, i am quite convinced, that you can use Debian for those purposes
you described in your posting. I am no expert on mail/file/print
servers, but i have been experimenting with Oracle on Debian a little.
If you are planning to run Oracle8i server on Linux platform, then i
truely recommend Debian Potato. Oracle
install process has been historically major PITA on the linux platform.
However, on Debian Potato it went smoothly, except one little glitch --
the root.sh script didn't find awk, so the script needed to be edited.
Oracle on Debian seems very stable to me, I haven't had any problems
with it. Oh, and when installing Oracle on Debian Potato, one does not
have to mess with this scary downgrading glibc stuff, this means, that
install on Debian is much cleaner than install on RedHat.
Namarie!
