I used Oracle's Linux to build my test RAC (VMware, etc). I use Fedora Core 7 for my other Linux boxes and have 9i/10g/11g running on them. I can say that Data Guard works between the cluster and one of my Fedora boxes as well. I had issues with ext3 and CentOS a few years ago but that seems to be isolated to me. If you're going to play with ASM, I think you lose raw disk support after 2.6.9. I have it at 2.6.9-42 but not at 2.6.23.12-52.
