        Why use anything but a certified platform?

        If you really can't use Red Hat or SuSE or UnitedLinux or
whatever, then you are on your own.  I've made Ora10 run on Debian, and
once it runs it runs well, but it was not nice getting there.  I basically
had to combine steps from three or four web how-tos.

        If I had to do it today I'd either stay with Debian, which I know
well and is a breeze to manage, or get something the closer possible to a
certified platform, like the Fedora release a particular Red Hat was based
on.  All this should get easier in the future because of OpenSuSE -- and
much easier if UserLinux or DebianCore or something the like manage to get
certified by Oracle.
