I am using Debian Wheezy and have instances of both the one from the debian
repos and the oracle repos.  Both work but most of the better features are
in the oracle version.  I recommend the oracle version.  It is just better.
 For one its support of say using USB devices.  The oracle version was the
only way I could make an itunes sync happen with my ipad against a
virtualized windows 7 instance.  SO perhaps try that version and see what
happens.
