Hi Ron, Thanks for your reply, and thanks for the link. It's been a while since I've been in the unix world so I have some reading to do to refresh my memory and learn about Linux. I asked the engineer to install 3.0 or 2.1 and he said "no problem". Smooth Sailing...!!!!! I haven't been this excited about my job in years. Thanks again, and thanks to Jerome and Ken for their replies as well.

RedHatAS 2.1 was based on the RH7 kernel and the AS3.0 based on the RH9 kernel with all of the fancy improvements. If you are going to install the Oracle 10g then the 2.1 or 3.0 are preferred as they have the certified OS objects Kernel,glibc,pdksh.... The Oracle install is simple and complete whith the 10g version. I loaded the 10gAS infrastructure on one pc in a few short hours and the applications on another server in under 2 hours. If you need instructions you might find what you need at http://www.puschitz.com/ the site has done a lot of work in the RedHat/Oracle world. Currently I am installing a new 80 G drive on my RedHat 7.2 play box then I will upgrade to AS2.1 followed by the upgrade of Oracle 8.1.7.4 to 10g.

Since I was stuck on Windows for the foreseeable future, yada yada... Well all that's changed. This morning I was just notified that there's a RH9 server that I need to install OEM on. So I go to metalink to look up the support matrix. My Gosh. There are three generic Linux categories: Linux x86, Linux x86-64, and Linux Itanium. I am assuming RH9 falls under x86. So I follow the certify matrix for x86, and I see two different RH Enterprise Linux versions listed: Enterprise Linux AS/ES3, AND Enterprise Linux AS/ES 2.1. I am assuming that RH9 equates to AS/ES3 but I don't know for sure. Can anyone verify this? I just need a nudge in the right direction. Anyone using RH9 + OEM management server?
