Net8 client is included with Oracle for Linux, but last I heard Oracle said they did not have plans of shipping the client seperate. You'll have to get the whole thing if you want it I suppose. If this is for production use, you wont be covered under the free license and you'll have to talk to a sales rep about purchasing it. But this is just what I've read from technet forums and such, you may just want to talk to Oracle to see what they say.
