Oracle 9i on linux?

Sorry for being a bit thick but I'm a basically a complete newbie to Linux & need to get up & running pretty quickly.

I been asked to setup a Linux box on a PC running Oracle 9i & Weblogic 8.1.

The version of Linux I install is not that important as long as I can get the 2 app's above working - that's where I've hit a brick wall.

I thought I'd find a Oracle & WL version say for FreeBSB or Redhat & go with that Linux version ah ha but -

it looks like from Oracle's site I should download "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard Edition for Linux New (26-Mar-04)"

but which version of linux is it for, freebsd, redhat etc...?

Also from BEA's site -
http://commerce.bea.com/showproduct.jsp?family=WLP&major=8.1&minor=3 in the drop down box, the only linux offering appears to be "Red Hat Enterprise Linux (2.1, 3.0, Pentium) - so do I have to have "Red Hat Enterprise Linux"?

Any ideas?

thanks in advance
