Its been a little while since I installed oracle. First thing make sure
that the version of your distro is supported. When I first tried, I used RH
70 and it just didn't work. After some searching I found that it just
didn't work yet.
Don't forget to install X. Unfortunately, the Oracle Installer REQUIRES X
to run. (normally I wouldn't even consider installing X on a database
server, but thats just me).
If you're not too familiar make sure you pick up the Database Administrators
Guide. In short:
1.Rollback segments and Temp segments should be on seperate disks if
possible
(The idea being that a insert statement that also does a joined/sorted query
shouldn't fight itself.)
2.Indexes and their data should be on seperate disks if possible
3.Redo logs should be on a different disk than the rollback segments and
temp segments if possible.
