Good distributions for testing Oracle on Linux

[Justin Bennett]

They compile oracle for linux sparc? Any reason you want to run it on 
Sparc? We run oracle/linux for our production database here and 
overseas. Got a lot more bang for our buck with linux/x86 than the E450 
we were running with solaris. We run Redhat 2.1ES (not going to help you 
on sparc) it runs great. We run it because It's one of the "certified" 
os's under oracle's "Unbreakable Linux" platform, and it has a longer 
life cycle than say something free like fedora, updates are avaliable 
for 5 year+, as long as you keep paying for your entitlement.
