Hi,

I am running oracle 9iv2 on a Pentium 200 system with 256 MB. It is a bit slow but it works fine. Be sure to have enough swap space And check the installation guide to set the kernel parameters. Pay attention to the /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax parameter. The only problem i had was a missing link in the java environment. The scripts for database creation are looking for 'jre' wich is not found. if you change the script to run 'java' instead of 'jre' it works fine.
