Hi All ,

I've red hat 9 installed on my pc and I was trying to install oracle
9i but with no luck , I just want to know the following :

1. Do I need a particular version of red hat ( ie professional , AS,
ES, WS)  to be able to install oracle 9i on my machine ?

2. Is there a red hat command that I can use to know what type of red
hat( ie professional , AS, ES, WS) I am using ?

3. If  I install oracle successfully on red hat , would I  be able to
see oracle option on the start menu , I mean for example , in ms
windows , after you install oracle you go to start then programs then
Oracle OraHome and so on ,


thanks in advance.

Carl
