I started bringing Gentoo in here. ( Although not for running Oracle yet. So far for a few web/file servers and thin clients. But I plan to try Oracle when we get new machines in 2-3 years. )
I like the fact that you can basically set up your own source repository with custom patches yourself quite easily, and then "replicate" your installed software package across machines with different hardware quite easily through Portage (Similar to BSD Ports).
So basically it's easy to somewhat tweak it into your own company-internal distro.
Although I would say we here *barely* scratch the lower border of "Enterprise level"

I would definitely consider OEL. The way I look at it, with OEL, Oracle has done for RedHat what Novell did for SUSE: made it usable. Novell and Oracle have been distributing enterprise software for decades. It's what they do. No other distributions have a fraction of the resources behind them that OEL and SUSE do.
