You can install and run Oracle9i on non-commercial Linux Distro.
We installed it on our IBM Netvista and Dell PowerEdge 2650
Server using Red Hat Linux 7.2/7.3 for our ERP/CRM Applications.
However, you have to invest with Oracle 9i License per CPU and/or per user
in able to deploy your rdbms applications.
If you are not willing to pay for the license the best alternative is MySQL
and Postgresql, try to do research on these opensource rdbms.
For your information only.
Have a nice day!
God bless,

O'Reilly has an article on running Oracle9iR2 database on RedHat Linux
9. There are some things to be done to make it run smoothly though, such
as tweaking kernel parameters in /proc and replacement of the C library
with the patched version. Caveat emptor.
As you might already know, Oracle has explicit support for RedHat's
Enterprise AS (formerly known as RH AS) and ES, as well as those
offerings from UnitedLinux (SuSE, TurboLinux, Conectiva, and gasp..
SCO). You may be able to run Oracle on other distributions, but be
prepared to forfeit technical support.
I'd also recommend to check if you really, really, really need an
Oracle-based deployment (my apologies to Oracle and their users), as
deploying such doesn't come really cheap. If such setup which would
drive down operating costs and increase long term operational
productivity can be provided by free and/or open source DBMS, why not
use them?
