I teach two RAC classes on RedHat Linux EL AS 3 update 2 with 9.2.0.5.

If you are interested in the classes contact the president of the Puget Sound Oracle Users Group (jwcline_at_psoug.org). If you have questions ... ask away.

We are hoping to set up a Solaris 2.9 RAC cluster very soon too. Just waiting for the hardware and Veritas software.
