Some people coming from non-Oracle databases think they need 1 database per schema.
In Oracle, You don´t. You just need 1 instance that can carry many schemas. That saves also a lot of RAM, You would just have 1 SGA instaed of many.

You provide no info, but the only reason to install more than 1 Oracle db on 1 machine
would be when You want to play around with version differences, maybe of 8i, 9i and 10G.
Then You could use multiple Oracle Homes.
