There are no sound reasons for installing different versions of Oracle
under different Unix users.
There is one sound reason NOT to do this: opatch won't work anymore if
you have different installations under different users, as the
installer will change ownership of orainventory, of which you have
only one, regardless of the number of Oracle Homes used.
Please reconsider.
