Hi Justin,
please provide your Linux-Distribution name, there are differences between
the distributions. It is possible to install Oracle under every distribution,
but on some distributions, you have to take slight different approaches. In the meantime a generic answer:

Look at the Oracle documentation, installation manual to make sure that your
Linux-box meets the requirements.
Do not mix up JRE (needed for Universal Installer) and JDK (needed for HTTP-Server).

This URL deals with installation on RedHat 7.0 http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/817.html

Check your installation log file, and do not try to create a database during the installation of the software. This is a known problem. Regards
