It runs fine on mine; a hacked-up Debian Potato system with a 2.4 kernel.

Just make sure the kernel minimums (shared mem, semaphores, etc) specified in the Oracle install docs are there. IIRC, there are fewer changes to make on the 2.4 kernel than the 2.2 kernel.

Just make sure you're using the glibc2.1, not 2.2! Received on Thu Apr 19 2001 - 19:14:03 CDT
