I don't agree with you: not certified means it is not *guaranteed* to work. It might work and it might work. You should recommend people unfamiliar with Oracle to run on an uncertified O/S. They will end in a mess. Your advice is more suitable for hackers and should be considered unprofessional in this forum. You are aware people might up end in a mess because of your advice: so don't advice them this configuration.
