Hi there,

Oracle 10g doesn't install on non-certified versions of linux (like Fedora
Core 3). Examples of certified versions are Red Hat AS/ES 2.1/3.0/4.0 and
SUSE Enterprise 8/9... You can check all certified versions on metalink.

I've had a lot of problems with Oracle9i installed on non-certified
versions that I don't even try installing Oracle on them, specially when
your dealing with production databases... Also, Oracle doesn't offer
support if Oracle is installed on a non-certified version...

HTH,

Juliano Freitas
