I experimented with it on Win 3.1 on Novell. Here's three things to note:

I needed a patch. The client agent kept blowing up with a "stack overflow". If this happens on your clients, call Oracle.
The TNSNAMES.ORA is not downloaded to the client.
Some products are not certified for a "shared install." You will have to use the products that are on the CD that has the OCM. We installed the GUI version of Oracle Applications (Financials) and I wanted to use the OCM. We had to setup a separate Oracle home on the network to use the OCM. We could only put the products that came on that CD into this new Oracle Home. It would not work with the existing Oracle home which had products in it like Server Manager and Pro*COBOL.
