Hi ,

of course it is possible. I do so on Solaris ( any UNIX system you want ).
Choose different unix users ( oracle7 , oracle8i, etc ), use alo different
dba groups ( dba7, dba8 , ... ) and install the software in different locations.

You should pay attention when usind SQL*Net 2 or Net8. IN this case you MUST
define different ports for the listener ( I won´t explain the procedure=

here,
would take too much time and space ). When using different ports for the listener,
DO NOT FORGET to set the right ports in tnsnames.ora. =

Until now, I had never problems for different ORA versions on the same server.
