Mostly OT: Accessing a remote Oracle database

Maybe I wasn't completely clear; there IS a client for Linux.

The issue that Bruce had is the only way to install the client is to
download the whole database (3 CDs). Once you've done that you can
select just the client libraries for the install (150MB), but you had to
download those CDs to get the client. If Bruce has only 600MB of space
on his machine, he can't install the 150MB client because he needs those
three CDs.

A nice client for looking at Oracle:
