Andrey,
Don't even think about implementing this until you've
read the manuals and thoroughly understand the
concepts. Replication can be very unforgiving when
you don't properly design and configure it. You may
also find that your application is not even suited for
it.

NO, to all of the above. One of replication's
strength's is that it is Oracle, OS and hardware
version independent. Personally, I wouldn't even try
implementing it on Oracle7 and given a choice I'd use
8i or 9i. Any combination of currently supported
versions will work just fine.
I'd start with reading the Oracle Distributed,
Replication, and Replication API manuals.
I also like Charles Dye's "Oracle Distributed Systems"
(O'Reilly).
My "Replication Do's and Don'ts" paper is available on
Christopher Spence's site:

Good luck!
