Hi. Centos it's not only binary equivalent but also kernel numbering equivalent with RedHat, this is pretty usefull for trying out new feautures on 11gR2 like ACFS and ADVM, which are for now only supported in Rehat Linux (and OEL?). It's only needed a tweak with the /etc/redhat-release /etc/issue and a file in /temp. I found this blogposts from Ivan Kartik really usefull in explaining how to tweak Centos for supporting what I mention before. http://ivan.kartik.sk/index.php?show_article=49 http://ivan.kartik.sk/oracle/install_ora11gR2_elinux.html And for the packages, they're on the disks. I mainly use Centos for my VMs so I really know.
