Yup, tis true. I think only the RH AS + ES 2.x, 3.x are actually supported. ANd on that note, those who use these distros of RH will find CENTOS very useful: http://centos.org/

Though they can't mention RedHat on their site (and these wouldn't be supported distros for Oracle per se) they're 100% compatible rebuilds from the same source and build for each version of RH ES/AS released. Usually comes out a day or two after. Good stuff if you need it in a hurry, though it's probably not a bad idea to support RH for their package/build efforts.
