Alexei,

Thank you very much! :)
Seriously!

I found out we've 2 HP servers with 4x3.6Xeon and 12gb of ram unused
for over a year, I hope I'll be able to get our project manager to let
me use one of our  storages to make some tests with ASM myself, but I
am guessing, given my lack of hands-on oracle experience, I'll be lost
before I reach ASM. I also have no idea what to use it with
afterwards, but anything I'll learn from it will be good for my future
as a dba (or maybe not ;-)

Anyways, your thoughts and help since I posted my questions, were
truly appreciated! ;-)

Cheers,
Pierre
