In my previous job, it was the sysadmin who did the Oracle install. Mainly because it was me and I was the dba as well...

but in most cases I know of, the dbas do the oracle installs. In close collaboration with the sysadmins, of course: the sheer number of patches that needs to be installed/verified in most Unix and Linux sites precludes any other solution.
