5. Final Words

Our goal was to write a short list of steps to have Oracle 8i, version 8.1.7, running on RedHat 7.2. We think we have gotten to our goal, so we stop here.

We think that it would be nice merge all HOWTOs, related to some Oracle installation on some Linux distribution could be very helpful. This is not in our coming projects. Any volunteer?

5.1 Some Internet Resources

To conclude, we have copied here, with some minor changes, the list of Internet resources Stephen Darlington's "Oracle for Linux Installation HOWTO" lists, just for easy of use:

• Oracle Technet. This is Oracle's public and free support website. Lot's of very useful information there.
• Oracle Metalink. Oracle's private (you need a support contract) support website. Only slightly more useful than Technet!
• Oracle Fans. Editorials and support forums. No official connection to Oracle.
• OraFaq. A site full of questions and answers regarding Oracle on all platforms.
• Oracle Linux mailing list (Send a mail to ListGuru@fatcity.com with the words 'SUBSCRIBE ORACLE-LINUX-L' in the body.
