I’ve had my first play with 11gR2 today:
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) Installation On Enterprise Linux 5.0
Nothing too unpredictable really.
I guess the most noticeable change is the new installer. I didn’t have an issue with the old installer, but a few friends from the Microsoft world had pointed out how dated it looked. The [...]
It’s that time again where I check to see if Oracle installs on the latest version of Fedora. The result once again is yes, it does. The main website has the links to the articles. I would add links here only the browser on this internet cafe machine doesn’t support cut & pates.
When [...]
I like to meddle with Fedora from time to time, just so I can see what’s coming round the corner in RHEL. I read recently that Fedora 11 will be the base for RHEL6, which means we are about 6 months away from seeing what the future of RHEL is going to be…
Much as I [...]
I wrote a couple of articles against a beta version of Fedora 9 before I went on holiday. I did a run through against the final release of Fedora 9 today and they seem fine, so here they are:
Fedora 9 (F9) Installation
Oracle Database 11g On Fedora 9 (F9)
The installation process doesn’t give you the option [...]
My Fedora 8 escapades were delayed by my OpenWorld experience, but better late than never.
Fedora 8 (F8) Installation
Oracle 11g On Fedora 8 (F8)
The first article is a run through of a fairly basic Fedora 8 install, showing what it looks like. The second is the Oracle install guide in my normal format. There’s one little [...]
I had a quick go at this installation and it worked OK. I had to load a bunch of FC6 packages to get Oracle to install, link and run properly. It looks like lots of the “compat_*” packages have been removed from Fedora 7, which is a problem as Oracle 10g needs them. The “libaio” [...]
I’ve been having a play with the beta 2 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5).
RHEL5 Installation
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 on RHEL5
Having seen the various Fedora Core versions released since RHEL4, I knew what to expect from RHEL5, but somehow I hoped for a bit more. If just feels like RHEL4 with a different [...]
Fedora Core 6 (FC6) was released while I was away at OpenWorld, so I thought I better update my draft installation documents:
Fedora Core 6 (FC6) Installation
Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) Installation On Fedora Core 6 (FC6)
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) Installation On Fedora Core 6 (FC6)
Cheers

I’ve written a couple of draft installation articles for DB10g R2 and AS10g R3 on Fedora Core 6 (Test 2).
Oracle DB10g R2 Installation On Fedora Core 6 (FC6)
Oracle AS10g R3 Installation On Fedora Core 6 (FC6)
I’ll revisit the articles once the final version of FC6 is released. I’m hoping the warning at the start of [...]
Over the last few weeks I’ve received lots of comments relating to the Oracle 10gR2 on FC5 issue. Recently, most of these have been people commenting on the success of the installation. As a result, I revisited the article based on all the comments and made the following changes:
There was a typo on my amendment [...]
