Yes.  We have a 9.2.0.4 test system based on the "How to Build a $1000 RAC"
whitepaper (www.bradmark.com/site2/products/pdfs/9irac_config.pdf), although
we spent about $1100.  After much ado about everything, it's been up and
running on RH9 for almost a month uninterrupted (would've been 2 or 3
months, but we had a planned power outtage while I was out pretending to
actually be of some help to my newborn and these boxes are on a desk with no
UPS).

I've done sporadic tests.  A co-worker came over and was wondering what the
noisy external SCSI drive was clicking about, we got to talking about HA,
and I decided to power off one of the boxes.  No TAF or anything, but box #2
went chugging along with only a 1-3 second pause in activity.  I've only put
a modest load on the RAC, but so far so good.  The thing that gets me is
anything RedHat and Oracle is a huge pain.  RAC only makes it worse.  I've
just done my second Oracle install on Gentoo Linux without any issues
whatsoever.  Hmmmm...

My $.02,
Rich
