  This has been done (with SQL*NET) with RedHat 3.0.3, iBCS, and SCO Oracle Workgroup Server

  Already a few Linux-ORACLE-mini-HOWTOS out there.

I'm fully aware that the source of all of this is to get a NATIVE version of Oracle for Linux (which would be BETTER than running it under SCO). But in a realistic way, I don't expect this to happen (from echos of people I talked to at Oracle).

Anyways, right now, Oracle does work under Linux but I wouldn't put my payroll on it!
