Yes there is (anything else): It's called a supported version and can be obtained at your local oracle sales rep. If it is for test or selfeducation alone, you can get it also at

http://otn.oracle.com

Follow the download link and choose a version more current (9i or above). 10g Release 2 is brand new, so new that at the moment my browser just shows the Developer's Release for windows (which is just Oracle's way to call a public beta).
