off the top of my head here are the pre-requesite package files needed to
install Oracle 9iDB (and AS na rin) on RedHat Linux 7.3:

- update all packages to the latest errata versions
- install compat-glibc
- install compat-libc
- install compat-libstdc++
- install openmotif21 (this is were i had trouble at first because this was not
documented)
- install SUN JDK 1.3.1_latest

there maybe some packages missing so please check out the google for the
rest. but, this should be enough. note that you should install the proper
groups and users plus setup the install directories before hand. the installation
documentation that comes with the Oracle CDs should come in handy.

fortunately, we are running Lotus Domino on RH 7.3 too! the versions we are
using Lotus Domino 5.0.9 and 6.5. why not stick to Domino? (this is coming
from a person who works for a company who is an IBM business partner. hehehe.)
btw, it was plainless to install Lotus Domino 6.5 on Linux. really!

btw, did you know that we just deployed Lotus Domino 6.5 Web Access in our 
Lab here at SVI and were able to get the offline client (web-based) to work on
Mozilla on Linux. yes! no more Lotus Client software on Wine!!! just a cool
looking browser-based interface with an offline plugin!!! beautiful!

if you need system integration work we maybe able to help you there. pop
me a private email if you are interested. we can help integrate both 
IBM and Oracle setups on Linux.we are currently business partners for
both. 

-- OR --

you can keep on asking on list. 

just a note, the reason why Oracle makes it painfully hard to do anything because
they want to promote their consultancy and training businesses. therefore,
Oracle+Dell+RedHat was not so much to promote Linux or Open source but to make
money for Oracle, Dell and RedHat. my $0.02.

good luck!
