tried installing oracle 10g R 2 onto non red hat enterprise gnu/linux distro and got
Checking operating system version:
must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4, UnitedLinux-1.0, asianux-1 or asianux-2
Failed
as per
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gR2InstallationOnRHEL5.php
i edited /etc/redhat-release to read
redhat-4 # Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Carthage)
instead and it now passes !
operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4
operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4
What this got to do with CentOS ? i guess you can published this on Debian/Ubuntu forums
under CentOS there is no problems installing Oracle regarding redhat-release.

Re: operating system version: must be redhat-3, SuSE-9, redhat-4
since oracle fails to install on red hat rhel 5 (& oracle unbreakable 5) i sort of assumed it would also fail to install on centos 5 ! glad to hear it works fine for you !
