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)

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)

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3)NAME
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins - Oracle joins in WHERE syntax support (instead of ANSI).
PURPOSE
This module is used with Oracle < 9.0 due to lack of support for standard ANSI join syntax.
SYNOPSIS
DBIx::Class should automagically detect Oracle and use this module with no work from you.
DESCRIPTION
This class implements Oracle's WhereJoin support. Instead of:
SELECT x FROM y JOIN z ON y.id = z.id
It will write:
SELECT x FROM y, z WHERE y.id = z.id
It should properly support left joins, and right joins. Full outer joins are not possible due to the fact that Oracle requires the entire
query be written to union the results of a left and right join, and by the time this module is called to create the where query and table
definition part of the SQL query, it's already too late.
METHODS
See DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::OracleJoins for implementation details.
BUGS
Does not support full outer joins. Probably lots more.
