Looking to try OEL 5 with 11g 64 bit ... I can't find so far a lot of
"been there done that already" docs written.

Tim Hall has a pretty good one but it's 32 bit and the rpm's and stuff
don't all get there.

Guess I may try OEL 4.4 since I think it still gives the option to
"install everything" which 5 for some reason doesn't have anymore.

Depend on oracle to provide a unix install that doesn't include a
default way of having all the software that you need to then install
oracle on. Then not including the details of how to get by that in
the oracle install doc. Just simply brilliant eh?

http://tahiti.oracle.com/ would be the first place I'd look.

we recently installed 10gR2 on RH5, i doubt 11g is much different.
Install everything is something we don't follow around here, rather
install nothing and add only stuff you need.

besides base OS install we installed
sysstat (oracle apparently requires this too now)
lsof (for troubleshooting)
nmap (for troubleshooting)
snmp (for snmp pulls of metrics)
xinted (for backups)

Oracle stuff below.. Make sure to check out metalink 414163.1 for RH5

Thanks I did get system up and running ( just playing/looking for
now ) on OEL 4.4 with 11g 64 bit on an intel duo system. I was having
some problems in the OEL 5 system with dependencies for gcc ...
haven't paid enough dues on linux evidently.

May go back and revisit it OEL 5 or centos 5 with your ideas.
