Yeah, I think the 1st real port to Linux was 804.

Here is a good one.
A DBA I know from an old list has a copy of Oracle 804 (I believe) for Linux...
...only printed on the CD it says;

"Oracle 804 for Linus"
as in Linus Torvalds

You guys our out of my league...best I can do is 805 on RH6.2. Was awesome...ran it on a Intel P-75 with 48MB-RAM and Apache too! Even better, I had what was then a home made version of mod_plsql by an Oracle employee. With it and the OAS/OWS? db HTTP PL/SQL packages one could serve web pages (unsupported) from a Linux 8.0.x database...was nice.
