Well, you don't specify *which* Red Hat, but as it's a home project, presumably Advanced Server is out of the picture... in which case, go with Red Hat 9 (if it's still available) or Fedora. Both work fine with 10g, and it's an easy install (though step-by-step instructions can be found at www.dizwell.com -Faq, basic, Oracle on Linux).

For the machine, a couple of Gigabytes of free disk space, and at least 256MB of RAM are all you need.
