I am new to Linux, but I have done much research on it, and it seems to be a
great OS. I am looking forward to purchasing a new PC and Red Hat Linux, so
I can learn how to create Web applications on this robust platform for our
clients.

I am an Internet developer with a big five consulting firm. I have
extensive experience developing dynamic Web sites for the Microsoft Server
platform. I would like to broaden my Web building experience by creating
dynamic database Web applications on the Linux OS.

I have spent a lot of time and thought to determine how to implement a
dynamic database Web application on Linux, but I have not had any luck
finding the information that I need.


I would appreciate any advise on the following items.

1. Development products that support Linux
2. Major databases that run on Linux
3. Java development products that support Linux
4. How does Web server communicate with middle tier Java server
applications?
5. Can JDBC be used to communicate with database on another machine?
6. Can Java  parse HTML sent from client?
7. Can it build and send response HTML page back to browser?
8. JDBC Drivers for Oracle
9. JavaServer Pages
10. Transaction support
