Well, according to what I understand, if you order RHEL you can run either 2.1 or 3. As for what Oracle wants, I'd stick to that to the letter, otherwise Oracle Tech Support (when, *not* if, you need it) will not be able to help you as well as they could otherwise. Call Oracle though and see how long it will be before they support RHEL 3. It could be a matter of weeks.

Hey gang,

I have been tasked with a cool project.  I get to spend a small fortune
on hardare (6 systems with 16 CPUs each) where I will run Oracle9i/AS.

The most recent Oracle9i/AS documentation says that if I select Redhat
as my OS I need:
Redhat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 2.1
Kernel 2.4.9
Glibc 2.2.4-25

I expect that I can use newer versions of the Kernel and Glibc, but want
to be sure before I place an order for RHEL 3 and find out it won't
work.

If anyone can offer me peace of mind through confirmation of personal
experience I would owe you lunch or something :)
