RE: redhat/oracle

Beware that the RPMs are SRPMs -- source. You still have to roll it yourself. Given that, I'm sticking with Gentoo for home/development, although it would make an interesting project. A consultant here with some mid-hurricane RH training-cut-short tells me that AS can be built from the SRPMS and a working standard RH box.
