Ryan, installing Oracle can be a bear.  I've done it a few times.  RH9 was 
more difficult and I can't claim to remember what all I had to do to make 
it work.

In all honesty, RH 7.3 was *faster* in our shop than RHAS 2.1 running 
Oracle on some substantial tables.  During the 
install process you have to downgrade your binutils package to one 
specified by Oracle but post-install you can upgrade back to current.
