Today there're already some patches for the database and JDev, HTMLDB and the others have also a more recent version. It needs to be said that these versions are not the latests one. I got Oracle 10gR2, JDeveloper 10g, HTMLDB 1.6, OWB 10g, RAC, Migration Workbench and some others.

Oracle delivers a nice package in this VMware image. I used everywhere the default settings and it worked perfectly. You run the installer, and he does all the work. Once downloaded you need to unzip all files in the same directory! I did a mistake here, by using different directories, which caused the installation to fail (didn't find the right files). It takes some time to download as it's a bit more than 4GB! The links to download are in this url: as also a detailed readme about the installation. You also need to do some registration to get a trail key. You need to download three zip files from OTN and an additional download on the Redhat site.

You've the choice to install a VMware with as OS Redhat or Novell. This week-end I thought to try it again! Previous times it worked, but too slow, now I've a new laptop (Dell Inspiron 9300), so I'm more hopefull. VMware allows me to reverse the image/snapshot as much as I like. I will mainly use it as a testing/playing environment as I try a lot of new (beta) things, apply patches and do a lot of demos and POCs. This allows me to do whatever I want on the OS and on the database. My goal is to run Oracle 10gR2 in a VMware session.
