Re: [orca-list] upgrading orca in oracle enterprise linux

[Willem van der Walt <wvdwalt csir co za>]

I think it would mostly upgrade stuff and should at the end of the day not 
install a lot of extra stuff.
The oracle servers these days normally have X on them anyway.
As stated before, my Redhat and Oracle knowledge is a bit dated, but I 
don't think it has changed that mutch in the meanwhile.
Regards, Willem
