Question
No version of oracle offers support for Ubuntu 10.10 or any distributions of Ubuntu...I wanted to know if some people might be knowing better than me..

 
Operating System Requirements
The following operating system versions (or later) are required for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2):
  • On Linux x86
    • Asianux Server 3 SP2
    • Oracle Linux 4 Update 7
    • Oracle Linux 5 Update 2
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 7
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2
    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2
    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
  • On Linux x86-64
    • Asianux Server 3 SP2
    • Oracle Linux 4 Update 7
    • Oracle Linux 5 Update 2
    • Oracle Linux 5 Update 5 (only if using Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel)
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 7
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 5 (only if using Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel)
    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2
    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
That is the recent version of oracle

why not using a linux that is known to work? also, linux == linux (with little differences). so if one linux works with oracle, another should also.
the best way is to test your configuration and build knowledge... if that is not possible, go for a supported configuration and use the fine documentation.

,but just now i installed Oracle 10g Xe in ubuntu 10.10,it's not opening

Code:
oracle@ubuntu:~$ sqlplus / as sysdba
sqlplus: command not found

That just means that sqlplus is not found on your PATH. You did set up a user called oracle, ORACLE_HOME, SID and all the requisite environmental variables?

Here is a typical setup script for oracle. You will need to modify it to suit your particular setup.
Code:
# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ultra.xfpmurphy.com; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=orcl; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=orcl; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM
PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
    if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
        ulimit -p 16384
        ulimit -n 65536
    else
        ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
    fi
fi
