The "free" version of Oracle has a single processor > limitation. <snip> Two and a quarter years ago, I got stuck with Spacewalk where I had a short-term contract, and it was a horror. (Note that while I was working on it, it went from 0.4 to 0.5) As Iain said, it requires Oracle, and I found I had to add an addition setting to Oracle - the free version has a max of 1G of memory, and I had to max it out (I think I set shared memory in Oracle's control panel to 994M), just to get it to work. It's also complex to configure and use, so if you're not looking at dozens or hundreds of machines, I wouldn't use it. mark
