Also be careful which version you get. Oracle 8.1.7 doesn't seem to like
Redhat 7.1 (the installer just hangs shortly after startup), so you will
need Oracle 9i, which was only certified for SuSE last time I looked
(although the requirements (Kernel 2.4.x and glibc 2.2) are met by RH
7.1, too, so it would probably work).
