Hi Jack,
Oracle Database is certified on RHEL AS and ES only. It is not
certified for WS.
Check the metalink.oracle.com for certification information.
Get the Installation Guide and read the Pre-Installation Requirement chapter. We have Oracle 10g running on 32 bit and 64 bit RHEL 4 AS. Installation is very smooth once you go through the pre-installation tasks.
