5. Configuration5.1 OverviewCongratulations, you have Oracle running on your Linux box. You have created a database and can connect to it using SQL*Plus. Of course, this is not the end of it.

On your client machine all you need to do now is point it at the right machine and database instance. If you want more control over the process, the "Net8 Configuration Assistant" ('netec') should be able to help.
5.4 Connecting to another machineThis used to be very difficult in many earlier version of Oracle, involving editing many text files, most of which had an fantastically complex syntax. But in 8i, if you've got your JVM working, then all you need is the "Net8 Easy Config" program. Follow these steps to allow your machine to connect to a database on another machine:
If you want more control over the process, you may need to use the
"Net8 Assistant" -- a big window with many confusing options -- which
