Why Doesn't Oracle Provide Technical Support For All Linux Distributions? 

Oracle's products can be downloaded and installed on any Linux distribution. 
Oracle publishes the kernel configuration information so customers may choose 
to deploy Oracle on any Linux distribution, including ,one of their own 
making. However, because of the indeterminate number of possible 
distributions and Oracle's desire to see customers succeed it is necessary to 
confine enterprise class support to those distributions that Oracle believes 
can be successfully deployed in enterprise class environments. Oracle has 
worked closely with Red Hat and UnitedLinux to ensure that their products 
meet these criteria. We look forward to the day when other Linux 
distributions are able to meet the same demanding standards. Until then, 
Oracle will provide direct support of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES and 
UnitedLinux to ensure the success of our customers who are deploying Linux in 
enterprise class environments.
