In most cases I am used to work with Windows, some weeks ago I started to work with Oracle, I have experience with other DBMS like SQL and MySql and I have worked with them in Windows.
Now I am learning Oracle and I don’t know in which OS oracle works better. I have installed it in windows but not in Linux. I also downloaded the Oracle Enterprise Linux which is an Linux OS for Oracle (similar with RedHat).
I want to know if Oracle Enterprise Linux is the only one Linux OS where Oracle can be installed or we can install Oracle even in RedHat, Ubuntu etc.
Also if someone has experience with this issue please let us know in which OS Oracle works better. I am confused with this problem and an answer from a profesional DBA will be very helpful for me.
So who can tell us which version of Oracle 11 is for linux, since i want to install Oracle on RedHat it will be good if some one let me know what is the Oracle version for Linux (redhat). Also it will be good if i have some link where it shows step by step Oracle installation on redhat.
Thanks for your answer. You helped me to make the decision in which os to run Oracle.
Here you can download the Oracle 11 instalation files for linux. 32 and bits are available. RedHat is one of the easiest distros for installing oracle, but there are some differences between the different versions of RedHat (and the different versions of Fedora core too) so search for the right “step by step” document of you don’t have any experience in the setup process.
