Try virtual box. Its free and pretty feature ricj (and might be an oracle product if the sun acquisition goes through).

I'm the proud owner of a slightly used MacBook (Intel). I know virtually nothing about OS X or MAC's, so it's a learning experience. I see that Oracle 10g is available for OSX but I'm not seeing anything for 11g. Am I just stuck with using 10g or does someone out there have some insight for me on how I can install 11g on my MAC?
