Two points:

1) You might be hard pressed to find a busy open group like this to
   help you with oracle linux... but maybe I'm just thinking of Oracle   
   solaris.

2) You will find some of the best help possible on this group if you
   should chose openindiana.  There is a high number of experts here
   that do willingly share there expertise.

Speaking aa a semi no-nothing on the technical and even practicle
aspects of oi, I have been able to run oi for several years now
primarily due to the help I have received here.

Mind you that mine is strictly a homeboy usage nothing commercial or
even terribly important.  Just a home server to store certain of my
data on like 300 GB of images collected over a number of years of
amatuer photography.
