Yes. It depends on the shell you are using. By default Linux uses the Bash shell (/bin/bash). To set your environment variables in bash edit the file ~/.bash_profile and include something like:

ORACLE_BASE=/usr/oraInventory
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/oracle

EXPORT ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME
If you are using the C-shell (/bin/csh), you can edit your ~/.cshrc file, the syntax is slightly different:

set ORACLE_BASE = (/usr/oraInventory)
set ORACLE_HOME = (/usr/oracle)

If you are not sure which shell you are using, you can find out by typing:

echo $SHELL

also, the "~" thingy is a short hand for your home directory. So if your user name is "tsharma" ~/.bash_profile and /home/tsharma/.bash_profile refer to the same file.
