For anyone looking for info on running raw partitions on Linux, I just found
an excellent article on the fundamentals of Raw on Linux. The site is www.idevelopment.info . I found the article by navigating to "Oracle" then
"DBA Tips" then "Linux" (About halfway down the page). Since I typically
always use file systems, this was pretty helpful.

That is a "cookbook" type article which forgets one small thing: why would
I want to use raw devices in the first place? I don't have particlarly
strong masochistic preferences, aside from being a senior oracle DBA. Raw
devices are administrative nightmare, cannot be extended, tar/cpio/dump
utilities cannot work with them, I can only have 256 of them and they can
only be 4G in size. Are you sure that your post isn't unsolicited
advertizing (spam, spam, bacon and spam) for an obscure "DBA tips" site?

I couldn't dig-up much in the docs or via google about
the following:
1 - Is there a standard way to make sure users (all, or
some) can "reach" java? eg one could presumably create
a java.sh or aliases ... Where is the standard Linux
directory to put such a script (and why)?

When installing the rpms (or the tar file) onto Red Hat Enteprise
Linux AS Beta 1 (Taroon), we get the follwing error:

The log file simply shows a start and a stop of the server.

Rationale to use Linux
=======================
- I can't afford paying for $199 for the license of an OS that's
arguably better thank Linux for each of 10 computers I have.
- I want to be free of Microsoft stigma, and of constant lockdown on
Microsoft products. The world is better than that.
- Linux runs .NET :-) Reverse engineers in less than a year. That's

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
