I've installed 10g 10.1.0.3 on FC4. Needed to change
/etc/redhat-release to fool the installer. I've also installed that

HOWTOs. puschitz.com is one of the best.

Yes that is true. Obviously if you are setting up a production system
I
would go by-the-book with Oracle. If this system is for testing and
experimenting, going with an RH-based system like FC3 should be fine.
I've set it up on the RHEL-ish CentOS.
