A word of warning: if you choose RH2.1 over 3.0, you may have a problem with
it detecting newer hardware.  I'll bet you'd save time starting off with the
much newer 3.0.  Unfortunately, there's still a hassle to get Oracle
installed on RH, but Mr. Puschitz' excellent site is the only guide you'll
need for a successful install the first time and every time.

Enjoy!
