Linux _can_ run Oracle7. You just need to take a SCO system, install
Oracle there and then move the installed version to your Linux
system. If your client already has a SCO license this is
possible to do. We run Oracle 7.2.2 under Linux for more than
half a year and did not noticed any problems (except the
"cross-installation").
