Hi Andy,
In Uster I did this for Ubuntu Server - but mainly for automated OGR
conversions - not really for QGIS server. But it should work for QGIS
Server as well.
In Kanton Zug I installed the Oracle client on CentOS, which is of
course rpm based and it worked fine.
Usually you have to set/extend certain environment variables, such as
* PATH
* LD_LIBRARY_PATH
* ORACLE_HOME
* TNS_ADMIN
Let me know, if you need assistance.
