It states just:
Oracle Database 11.2.0.2.0 with Linux x86-64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
For further details see Certification Information for Oracle Database on
Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 1304727.1).
Quotes from the note:
Certification Details for Specific Releases
11.2
OS versions and minimum levels:
[...]
Red Hat Enterprise 5 Update 2 and higher
[...]
See Oracle Database Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux
for the Minimum Operating System Requirements.
[...]
11.2.0.2 requires Oracle Linux 5 update 2 or higher
Unbreakable Enterprise Linux kernel (UEK) for x86-64 is supported with
11.2.0.2 and requires Oracle Linux Update 5 or higher.
So we have:
1. Doc ID 1304727.1 - 11.2.0.2 requires Oracle Linux 5 update 2 or higher.
2. Installation Guide: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 5 (only if
using Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise
Kernel)
