  Part I: Installing Enterprise Linux 5 This section describes how to install Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (OEL5) on your hardware (but the same steps will apply for RHEL5).  Please take a moment to make sure that your hardware meets or exceeds the minimum hardware requirements for Oracle Database 11 g Release 1. Minimum hardware requirements: 32-bit (x86) x86 compatible CPU 1 GB RAM 10 GB available disk space (3.5 GB for the Oracle software + 1.5 GB for the database + 3 GB for OEL5 + 2 GB swap) 64-bit (x86_64) x86_64 compatible CPU 1 GB RAM 10.5 GB available disk space (4 GB for the Oracle software + 1.5 GB for the database + 3 GB for OEL5 + 2 GB swap) Note: Both Linux and Oracle must be installed for the same architecture. 32-bit Oracle will only run on 32-bit Linux and 64-bit Oracle will only run on 64-bit Linux.
