This can be done on RedHat as well, should you go that route.
Doing so requires a bit of work, but makes subsequent installs easier.


- ASMLib kernel module is built in to UEK, and Other ASMLib pacakages
available via yum.


Assuming that ASMLib is used.

And BTW, if you go to a non-Oracle version of Linux that is based on RedHat
6.x+, be sure to disable transparent huge pages.
