I also installed 10g on Fedora Core without any problems whatsoever. BUT, I can only create a minimal database with DBCA with no options selected. Otherwise I get the infamous "end of file on communication". I've triple checked my kernel parameters, so I don't know whats going on there.

I also can't install Grid Control on Fedora - it bombs during the link phase.

What problems did you have?
