Good distributions for testing Oracle on Linux

[Darin Perusich]

i've setup oracle 8i/9i on redhat 6.2, 7.x, ES 2.1 and SuSE 9.0 without 
any problems. the redhat ES2.1 implemenatation was for a client who does 
clinical trials so db server must be up all the time. we set it up for 
them last fall and the linux/oracle setup has never blinked once.

they only way that you might get oracle running on linux/sparc is to try 
the solaris version of oracle. if you're going to go to all that trouble 
you'd be better off just running it on solaris. i just setup oracle 10g 
on one of your e450's running solaris9, it's a seamless install. i 
didn't even have to figure out what to set the shared memory and 
semaphores, it figured it out for me.
