Oracle 10G Limux ASM Library - NEWBIE QUESTION

I have REDHAT Linux 9 on my PC. I have downloaded Oracle 10G for Linux X86 and installed it. I set up a ASM database instance and it did not give me any errors. I also used ASM for a few tablespaces in another database instance.

I did not downloaded Oracle 10G ASMLIB from OTN at all, so I am confused whether I really need this library or not.

Also, If I need this library which Library will I download:

REDHAT ADVNACED SERVER 2.1 (X86)
OR
READHAT ENTEPRISE LUNIX 3AS (X86) I KNOW ORACLE DOES NOT SUPPORT REDAHT LINUX 9, BUT MY ORACLE 10g INSTALLATION WITHOUT ASMLIB SEEMS
TO WORK JUST FINE, SO I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE WITH redhat 9 instead of installing redhat advanced server 2.1 or enterprise linux 3AS and then installing 10G all over again and finally downloading ASMLIB.
