   I write to dell and they said:

//////////////////////////////////////

We are working on a certified configuration of Oracle 9iRAC - Release 2 on RH Advanced Server on the 6650 platforms. This certified configuration will be available soon. I have cc'ed our Product Marketing Manager, Nicolas Pujol
and Stan Nguyen, our Marketing Manager in Dell-Asia, so that they can provide you with more information.

//////////////////////   	
	I have another thread open in dbforums:http://dbforums.com/t432663.html, you can take a look there.
	Redhat Advanced Server seems to be a good choice, but it seems need seperate license, even if we do not buy the technical support, right?

We currently have a ops on Suse Linux cluster, and now it seems ok, we rebooted it after it run 60 days. In the beginning, it rebooted every one week also, after i distribute the work load to the two machine, it seems much more stable.

        Nice that we can communicate on the same configuratoin:)
