RE: Linux & Oracle - Departing from the DARK SIDE (Windows)

A word of warning: if you choose RH2.1 over 3.0, you may have a problem with it detecting newer hardware. I'll bet you'd save time starting off with the much newer 3.0. Unfortunately, there's still a hassle to get Oracle installed on RH, but Mr. Puschitz' excellent site is the only guide you'll need for a successful install the first time and every time.

Enjoy!
