Andy,
Don't bother installing X... Just make sure that
you have SSH installed. As of RH 7 .0, the SSH
rpm takes care of everything. If you bring up
an Xterm on your workstation, just SSH over to
your Oracle server. THe Xauth MIT-Magic Cookie
gets set for you, the $DISPLAY variable is set
to point back to your workstation, and, best of
all, your entire X session is encrypted over the wire!
SSH...definitely the way to go.
Regards,
Marty

Its been a little while since I installed oracle. First thing make sure
that the version of your distro is supported. When I first tried, I used RH
70 and it just didn't work. After some searching I found that it just
didn't work yet.
Don't forget to install X. Unfortunately, the Oracle Installer REQUIRES X
to run. (normally I wouldn't even consider installing X on a database
server, but thats just me).
If you're not too familiar make sure you pick up the Database Administrators
Guide. In short:
1.Rollback segments and Temp segments should be on seperate disks if
possible
(The idea being that a insert statement that also does a joined/sorted query
shouldn't fight itself.)
2.Indexes and their data should be on seperate disks if possible
3.Redo logs should be on a different disk than the rollback segments and
temp segments if possible.
