Oracle offers a full featured demo version of Oracle9i Release 1 (9.0.1) CD Pack for Linux Intel. The price is 49 USD and it is a time limited license, 30 days. I preserve it can be re-installed after the 30 days is up for another 30 days.

I've purchased this and I am in the process of installing it. My setup is a Dell Dimension XPS T500 with 512 MB ram and 90 GB hard disk. The Oracle software alone takes up 3GB, and they recommend at least 512 MB of ram. The OS I'm using is Red Hat 7.1, which basically costs almost nothing.

On the back of the CD Pack they've printed: Worldwide inquiries: Phone +1 650 506 7000.

Good luck!
