10gR2 works fine on CentOS 4.0. That's a bit of a cheat, as
CentOS is a perfect free mirror build of RHEL 4.
Before I started using CentOS, I often used the instructions
from www.oracle-base.com <http://www.oracle-base.com> to get 9i versions
working on FC2/FC3. They have various guides for 10g installs, you mind find
something useful there.

Well I got it installed on FC3, but as the installer thinks that this is a
supported distribution I'm not sure that counts.

Anyone else able to get 10gR2 installed on a non-supported Linux like
Gentoo (for testing purposes only, obviously)? I haven't yet done a:
strace -o /tmp/orainstall -f -ff ./runInstaller
-ignoreSysPrereqs
...and checked out the 80+ files created about this, but the Installer
fires up a "Product-Specific Prerequisite Check" even with the
-ignoreSysPrereqs and the requirements for glibc and others fail. I
believe I meet the glibc minimum at 2.3.2, but the installer refuses to
continue. And thanks to the Gentoo development, I'm unable to upgrade
my glibc because they delete ebuilds from portage and a revdep rebuild
will fail. <sigh> Really need to dump Gentoo -- gone WAAAY downhill
since Daniel Robbins left.
BTW, this is my desktop, and I'm running a 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 kernel on a
2.6Ghz P-IV w/1G RAM.
TIA!
