“Oracle’s install MUST have the right version of glibc to
work!… Redhat 5.2 has it…”
“Why use Redhat? Oracle used RedHat when they ported the server
to Linux and from all I have heard, will continue to use RedHat
when developing. I normally use Slackware, but I had problems
installing with Slackware 3.5… Since my business wanted this
thing up as soon as possible, I swallowed my pride and got a copy
of RedHat 5.2.”
