hi, dbas: We plan to setup a new database on a Linux Cluster, using Oracle 9i RAC release 2, with Dell PC Servers (4CPU, 4G memory), to store our online history data and provide read only service and some other misc applications. So, what i care is: 1. Which Oracle version to use, release 1 or release 2. Release 1 is

certified on many platforms with proper hardware and os, but release 2 is relatively new. But since oracle supports new version and there is maybe less bugs , i prefer release 2 version . Can you share your opnion?
2. Which OS to choose. Suse and Redhat is the oracle prefered

version. For RAC/OPS support , is suse better than redhat? Or if i choose redhat, shall i choose the redhat 7.1(the certified version with rac release 1 on Dell machine) or Redhat Advanced Server, or redhat 7.2/7.3?
3. Has anyone here used RAC in production? Especially on Linux/RAC

combination? what about your experience? Please share your valuable experience here:), thanks.
