Oracle Database 10g R2 on Solaris 10

Question

Dear all.
Next week I'll have a job which is to install Oracle Database 10g and configure it on Solaris 10 Operating System. I'd like to know if some of you could give some suggestions or best practices (SGA, PGA, Processes, etc.) for that installation. The hardware has 32Gb memory and 4 dual core processors. The O.S. is already prepared to receive Oracle installation.
Thanks a lot.

Steve,
Is that the below sentence meant that 10 connections from user A will be considered as one connection by oracle?
As far as oracle is concerned, 10 connections by user 'A' is the same as one connection each by users 'A' through 'J'thanks,
baskar.lNo. It means the load is the same. 10 connections is 10 connections, whether they are all by one user account or by 10 separate user accounts. It's still 10 separate connections and the load is the same and oracle doesn't care.
Try it for yourself. Set up 10 user accounts. Call them USER01 through USER10. Fire up 10 separate sqlplus sessions (you can do this from your windows desktop with 10 separate cmd windows) and log on with a different userid in each one. The query v$sessions. Then go back through your 10 sqlplus sessions and reconnect with the same user name in each - use USER01 in all 10 of the sessions. Then query v$sessions again.
