linux validated rpm oracl

We all know that setting up a Linux host for installing RDBMS can be a really tedious task.
Well I wasn't aware that there exists a pre-cooked RPM that installs all the required packages for a fresh install.
Ill try to test it soon, in the meantime here you have for downloading it: ( OEL4 and OEL5)

More information can be found at the My Oracle Support Note "Linux OS Installation with Reduced Set of Packages for Running Oracle Database Server (Doc ID 728346.1)"

Also, check this website http://linux.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=102:1:2252801871920376 with a list of Oracle Linux Validated Configurations including software, hardware, storage, and network components along with documented best practices

Hope it helps!
