If you need to testdrive Oracle 10g on Linux, you can now download installation-kits that install VMWare 4.5, Red Hat Linux or SuSE Linux and Oracle 10g and you are ready to go. You can read more about it on this page.
I think this initiative makes it very easy to testdrive Oracle on Linux, since VMWare allows you to run Linux without repartitioning your harddrive. I use it to have several installations, one for each client I have, so I don’t have to worry about policies from one interfering with policies from another client.
