Please suggest a linux distro for loading oracle 10g/11g. How is ubuntu for this ?

machine config: Pentium 4/mobile 1.4GHZ, 1GB RAM. 10g should work ok for learning purposes, right ?

It doesn't matter what Linux distro you use.

^^ +1 for Lubuntu.

This should work well for Lubuntu as well as it does for Ubuntu.
