Exactly. 10g still has RAC so one can install 10g and configure RAC clusters just like they do in 9i. RAC is a mature technology and has not been renamed and is not going away in 10g.
The things that DBAs should be paying attention to, very close attention, is ASM and ADDM. DBAs that don't learn these will do so at their own peril. Oracle is going to actively make the pitch to CIOs that the way you cut cost-of-ownership is to get rid of DBAs that insist on working at the command line. With these tools it is going to be a case of use it or lose it. And what will be lost is the job.
