I'd be interested to hear what king of success you have, and what
version of Oracle you try.

Oracle does not tend to use a great deal of the OS, so it might
be reasonable -- it comes down to binary compatability.  For 386
Unix, you only have a shot for Solaris, Unixware, SCO, and Dynix
(if memory serves).
