Hi,
Suse7.2 is certified with 9.0.1. It will never be certified with 9.2 and
later versions. Suse has a special product SLES - Suse Linux Enterprise
Server. It's based on Suse 7.2 and include many official patches and
upgrades.
Afaik, with Suse 7.2 you may not upgrade your kernel and be certified with
Oracle. (7.2 out-of-the-box has 2.4.4) It's not always the problem, but you
have a chance to forget about Oracle support when you critically need it.
The current politic of Suse regarding Oracle is to support new products from
now (or some time in the past) on SLES. So it's certified with 9iR2
(including RAC), iAS 9iR2, Apps 11i.
Btw, Suse guys claim that Oracle uses Suse as linux development platform.
I know RH has something like Suse's SLES... called RH AS (advanced server),
but dunno much about it.
We use 7.2 (plus 2.4.16 kernel) for several servers and pretty much happy
with it. However, we will move to SLES soon.

Hi Ray,
I have Oracle 8.1.7 and 9.0.1 running on an Suse 7.2 box configured with
ext3 file systems. Both instances are working properly and without major
issues.
Suse 7.2 comes along with a variety of file systems , including ReiserFS ,
ext3 , ext2 , Aix�s JFS and other that I can�t recall now.
Regards,
Antonio Belloni

Not on the oracle topic:
RH is pretty insecure out of the box. If you don't take steps
to lock it down the machine will be compromised within the hour in
our experience. There are some good web pages out on the steps
that need to be taken:
http://www.sans.org/newlook/projects/bastille_linux.htm
http://www.sci.sdsu.edu/People/Bill/basic_sec.html
I'd suggest the use of iptables:
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jns/security/iptables/
That said, I have a screaming 8.1.7.4 server running on RH 7.1. I am
unhappy with the oracle support matrix for RH, however. It seems to
have stalled a 7.1. I'm thinking of giving SuSE 7.2 a run since it is
supported, hoping the ext3 filesystem is there. RH7.1 only has ext2.
The seemed to be pushing the RH advanced server with 9i, which seems like
a real Redmond, WA thing.
