Yeah, these damn software companies have a lot of NERVE to GIVE AWAY FOR FREE software that lacks the functionality of their high-priced core product line! While I haven't seen any mention of this yet, I would assume that OnLine on Linux would NOT be a free download. Don't know what Oracle's approach is going to be. So the question becomes: how much are you willing to shell out for this "basic" functionality?
