Being RHEL derived, were you able to seamlessly integrate Oracle 10g without all the extra RPMing?

On another note:

Considering Solaris 10 is free, I would suggest Solaris as a platform to deploy Oracle Database. In 10 years of running it under Solaris (SPARC),   I have yet to see a better marriage between a rock solid OS and database. Although you will have to wait for a 32-bit Oracle 10gR2 for Solaris x86 if you are running xeon 32-bit or non-Opteron x86 CPUs.
