seconded.  use postgres it rocks.  Now if you must use oracle,
whatever version, for real work put it on a supported platform period.
 Since you are paying the licence/support fees you might as well be
able to use them.

The absolutly last thing you want to hear from oracle is "we do not
support that configuration."  when you need support.
