Michael,
according to Metalink, Oracle 9i is certified for SuSE 7.1, SuSE 7.2 and
Red Hat 7.1.
As Hans Erik Busk wrote in another post, SuSE is much "closer" to Oracle
than RedHat, so if you choose SuSE you should have less problems and
more support, tips, etc.
If you are going to use SuSE in a production environment I would suggest
you to buy SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 7. It's a new product
specifically tailored for server environments, and Oracle certification
is in progress.
