no, oracle has release oracle 8.0.5, not 8i (aka 8.1.5), for linux.

we've had trouble with occasional but deadly protocol violations talking
to linux oracle 8.0.5 from linux/jdbc. no help from oracle on this
subject.

fyi the jdbc drivers for 8.0.5 and 8.1.5 are neither forward nor
backward compatible.

personal opinions of oracle software available upon request.
