Suse linux enterprise server 8 and oracle9i:
kernel 2.4.19 -> you need to install SP3 to switch to a certified
configuration,
install gcc_old and orarun (on the distribution CD),
*at this point you have user, groups, init script, and environment ready*
modify parameters and env at will,
you are ready to install the 9.2.0.1 but be ready for the relinking part
which needs some work.
if you start from 9.2.0.4 CDs everything should go fine without particular troubles... but you don't have to install gcc_old.
I admit I prefer suse above redhat:
Yesterday I had an oracle seminar: RAC 10g on redhat AS3. I started at 9:00 and finished the installation at 16:00 (with a short pause of 30 minutes) and was the only one in the course succeding. (Even with the help of 2 oracle guys and a redhat one plus the operating system already installed).
"Out of the box" are not the words I'd use for RAC 10g. Now I'm curios to see how many hours on other distributions (starting from SLES and debian).
If only debian would be supported...
