Re: Restoring database on a different machine

We recently worked with a client running 32-bit oracle on 64-bit SLES - I imagine it should also work on RHEL4. Just make sure to go through all the prereq's for RH4 - since it probably requires different packages than RH3. The installation manual should cover that.
