hi, dbas: 
        We plan to setup a new database on a Linux Cluster, using Oracle 9i RAC 
release 2, with Dell PC Servers (4CPU, 4G memory), to store our online history data 
and provide read only service and some other misc applications. 
So, what i care is: 
        1. Which Oracle version to use, release 1 or release 2. Release 1 is certified 
on many platforms with proper hardware and os, but release 2 is relatively new. But 
since oracle supports new version and there is maybe less bugs , i prefer release 2 
version . Can you share your opnion? 
        2. Which OS to choose. Suse and Redhat is the oracle prefered version. For 
RAC/OPS support , is suse better than redhat? Or if i choose redhat, shall i choose 
the redhat 7.1(the certified version with rac release 1 on Dell machine) or Redhat 
Advanced Server, or redhat 7.2/7.3? 
        3. Has anyone here used RAC in production? Especially on Linux/RAC 
combination? what about your experience? Please share your valuable experience here:), 
thanks. 


Good luck
