Don't know why you ask this question in this group about oracle server, which is in almost every respect NOT what you wan't, but here you are...

Have a look at firebird which is or was available on sourceforge.net: It's open source, it runs on Windows AND *nix, very small footprint and the only database except for oracle (at least that I'm aware of) that provides read consistency without blocking.

Never used replication myself, so don't know if it's provided or not.
