I am interested in the possibility of running a small-scale oracle

gentoo - as this is my server box... though I guess there may be hoops
through which I must jump...
I found this:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/HOWTO_Install_Oracle_10g
But it isn't in English... or, I think, up to date. Is there a howto
for a currently available oracle download I can follow? Does anyone on
this list run oracle on their Gentoo install?

I used this how-to as a rough guideline a few years ago when I setup a
test server on Gentoo. It's RHEL based, but isn't too hard to adapt to
Gentoo... IIRC the lib-compat stuff was the only thing I needed to do
... and the path stuff was annoying as well. He also includes some
tuning stuff for actually using the db which is nice.
