Hi Scott,
I have installed Oracle 8.1.6 on Red hat Linux.

The installation of Linux as well as Oracle was a breeze. Went off without any hasseles.

When you are creating the database keep shared pool on the higher side as creation of java objects need a higher shared pool.

Recommended is 128 MB Ram . But I have successfully installed with 96 MB & 64 MB ram respectively . Though the database creation is a bit slow.

Sorry no experience with Caldera.

HTH

Subject: Which LINUX distribution is best to run Oracle on?

ORACLE-L_at_fatcity.com Listmates,

I want to install Linux on my laptop so that I can run Oracle 8.1.6 on it.
Which LINUX distribution would be best strictly from this perspective? I am torn between Caldera (being a home-town product) and Red Hat, which

I have heard is the best as far as support from and with Oracle.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Lockhart
Senior Consultant (Oracle DBA/Oracle Applications DBA)

By the way,
I am focused on running Oracle on Linux, as I'm an Oracle DBA by trade.
Please save any evangelizing about MySQL, DB2 for LINUX, Informix for LINUX, etc. for another thread :)
