He wants to learn, Sybrand. Not put it into production.

Right now, I have a single Windows 2003 server running VMware hosting 2 Red Hat 9 virtual machines running Oracle 9.2 in one with a logical standby in the other, 1 Red Hat 8.0 virtual machine running 9iAS, and 1 virtual machine running Windows XP acting as the Management Server and RMAN repository. It all works perfectly and pretty fast, and is an excellent platform to learn on. It requires only a bit of gumption and a couple of Gigabytes of RAM to run.

There is, in short, no reason why a learning environment should not be as challenging as you want to make it.
