As most people would agree --- Red Hat and SuSE are the most commonly 
used linux distributions, for Oracle Installations.  Being a Red Hat 
fan, I was very surprised to see Oracle 9.2.0 installed flawleslly on 
SuSE 8.0.  Good luck to you.

p.s. for Red Hat installation reference, take a look at my web site 
ivascu.com under the Oracle link.  Hope you find it usefull.
