All,
We're currently running Oracle 9i on a RHEL AS 2.1 installation. We need to upgrade to Oracle 10g, and I've half-way convinced my boss to upgrade to RHEL 4 (we're still discussing AS vs ES, since we're running 2 HT processors...).
Anyway, I want to upgrade because of EOL issues whenever RHEL 5 comes out, but before he okays me wiping the server and installing 4, he wants to know if we're going to get any specific benefits out of upgrading the OS. I recall that the 2.6 kernel did a bunch of optimization stuff, but is there anything in there that would affect the performance of Oracle 10g?
And if so, are there any web sites to which I can direct him? So far my googling hasn't been very productive. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms.
Thanks!

Here's a somewhat dated comparison for your PHB to peruse....

2.6 introduced a new disk scheduler which is tunable and can make some significant differences. I always found HT on ES2.1 to be a performance liability, for what it's worth. We were using 9iR2.

Redhat put out some nice, succinct papers when they release a new version. They're management compatible too. I'd be looking for pdfs at redhat's site.
