Why don't you visit www.dizwell.com, and start reading the Virtual Oracle papers? That way, you will find out how to install onto a "corporate version" of Linux for zero cost.

And yes, everyone else will point out how you can install onto this or that distro... though I strongly suggest that there is neither need nor occasion ever to do so.
