Oracle works on Gentoo and Debian. Oracle don't need any patch from Red Hat.

> In fact if they aren't doing it it's because they don't have the man power to do it - which is the WHOLE point of buying support from Redhat.

Most Red Hat/SuSE patchs are upstream.

From the last fc3 kernel :
$ cat *patch | diffstat
968 files changed, 52578 insertions(+), 92049 deletions(-)

Most patchs are fix.

Vanilla linux 2.6.9 : 6 463 002 lines !

Yes, Oracle runs on fc3.
