When you say big, I'm assuming 20GB or more? RAM = 512MB or more??

Having recently done an oracle on linux install, I can talk about this
a little.

Make it *BIG*. Lots of disk, lots of RAM. Oracle is a pig when it
comes to RAM and Disk. But it seems pretty good with CPU, supprisingly
enough.
Read the Oracle Docs carefully, then go hunting for other docs. If I
hadn't lost my bookmark list, I'd have a plethora for you.
Use RedHat or SuSE.
You may have to install it a few times to get it right. I know I did.
Good luck, and if you need any help when the system gets here, wel,
you know where to find me *grin*
