Assuming that Oracle and OS's licenses are not a problem for you , sure you can!
Once you've chosen a supported OS (eg. RHEL4) you can follow Oracle documentation for deploying your RAC environment. If you want to play, you can also use an OS that is not supported, although you may encounter problems for example during linking of Oracle binaries (you may fall into big headaches!).
My personal installation runs very well on my laptop:
Code:
2.6.24-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Tue May 13 18:38:54 CEST 2008 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
However it's not a RAC. I've never installed a RAC on OSs different than RHEL and Solaris.
Given your system, I would recommend installing x86_64 version for both OS and RDBMS, only don't try 32 bit Oracle on a 64 bit OS.
The only option you have for shared storage is using ASM or OCFS (very buggy). Since it's a test system, you may also try with a shared mount via NFS, but if I remember correctly it's not supported (don't know if it works the same!).
Oh, you also need two physical NICs on both servers for public addresses and private interconnect. These are required for proper installation of clusterware software.
One last word: maybe it is better to try such a complex environment on virtual machines rather than on a real hardware! For testing purposes you may be able to startup two VMs with 512MB of RAM each and be able to install correctly a Linux system and a small Oracle instance.
We have 2 node Oracle RAC Cluster. It is running RHEL 5 (2.6.18-92.1.10.el5PAE)
Hardware is HP DL360

hi everyone,
We have rac system which has two sun solaris M5000s and two oracle 11gR2 databases respectively. Also , we have unix codes on one rac and these unix codes extract txt files for external tables during first step of ETL.
We run our unix codes using Util.RunThis java code and... (10 Replies)

Apache::Session::Oracle(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Apache::Session::Oracle(3pm)NAME
Apache::Session::Oracle - An implementation of Apache::Session
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Session::Oracle;
#if you want Apache::Session to open new DB handles:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
DataSource => 'dbi:Oracle:sessions',
UserName => $db_user,
Password => $db_pass,
Commit => 1
};
#or, if your handles are already opened:
tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Oracle', $id, {
Handle => $dbh,
Commit => 1
};
DESCRIPTION
This module is an implementation of Apache::Session. It uses the Oracle backing store and no locking. See the example, and the
documentation for Apache::Session::Store::Oracle for more details.
USAGE
The special Apache::Session argument for this module is Commit. You MUST provide the Commit argument, which instructs this module to
either commit the transaction when it is finished, or to simply do nothing. This feature is provided so that this module will not have
adverse interactions with your local transaction policy, nor your local database handle caching policy. The argument is mandatory in order
to make you think about this problem.
This module also respects the LongReadLen argument, which specifies the maximum size of the session object. If not specified, the default
maximum is 8 KB.
AUTHOR
This module was written by Jeffrey William Baker <jwbaker@acm.org>.
