That was me, and it took me a good macallan to convince the system's programmer
to do this
while we were in Las Vegas. Don't think the linux folks ever caught on.

I think I heard in one of the SHARE presentations where CMM was
discussed where the "Oracle DBAs wanted 4 GB of RAM (just like they had
in Windows), but that the zLinux administrator had used CMM to take away
most of the 4GB and the DBAs never knew. They had no way to tell." I
don't remember who said that. It might have been in one of the
presentations from Nationwide.

We are considering running the Oracle databases for a Peoplesoft

I'm not sure just how much of this you're looking to validate.
Certainly many, many people are running Oracle databases on Linux for
System z. There's an article from a year ago,
http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3656941 , that talks
about IBM and Oracle signing a co-marketing agreement. One paragraph
has this to say:
"Candidate workloads for the Linux on System z include Oracle database
software and other Oracle software including, EBusiness Suite for
Linux on System z, Peoplesoft on Linux for System z, and Siebel on
Linux for System z."
I don't know if that means there is actually software that will run on
mainframe Linux or not.
