[TriLUG] Oracle9i AS on Redhat9

[Joseph Tate]

Well, according to what I understand, if you order RHEL you can run 
either 2.1 or 3.  As for what Oracle wants, I'd stick to that to the 
letter, otherwise Oracle Tech Support (when, *not* if, you need it) will 
not be able to help you as well as they could otherwise.  Call Oracle 
though and see how long it will be before they support RHEL 3.  It could 
be a matter of weeks.
