Mr. Guzman,
You are correctly in your answer.
I had
the same problem, as the major Server´s vendor just homologated Suse or RedHat.
And at that time I asked help to DELL and ORACLE, but their technicians acted as
robots, following the guidelines not listening anything I said.
And Mr. Bergeró , nowaday it is better have a good
extra-support provided by Oracle, and it is directly related the OS you
have, as Guzman told us. Obviously, if your boss would go to Debian (I love
Debian), just write down a cust/benefit list to him (via email), showing all
caveats, as the decision is up to
him...

Assunto: Re: Oracle
on Debian.. or Red Hat?
If you have any support from Oracle, it will
be useless the moment they figure out you are not running their software on a
supported OS. If you don't ever need their direct support (ie. open a case and
send requested log files, etc), you may get away running Oracle on
Debian.
I did it a long time ago, back in the 8i days. It ran
better on Debian than on the supported Suse version we had to install it on
later due to a manager's paranoia. Just be sure you are using the same library
versions that the supported redhat offers. But test for yourself as Carlos
suggests to be sure.
OTH, you may entice your sysadmins to play
with redhat by suggesting them that being savvy in it may add value to their
resumes.
If you choose to go the redhat way, I suggest you use the
oracle version of redhat (oracle enterprise linux), as they've made it
ridiculously easy to install and support their products (yum repos and a package
called something like: oracle-install-ready.rpm).
Good
luck
