Quicker Database Oracle Installs on Unbrekable Linux with the oracle-validated RPM

In an earlier post I wrote about the Oracle channel on the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and how to subscribe to it. This channel just got a great new addition in the form of the oracle-validated RPM. When you install this RPM using up2date and ULN, it will automatically install all packages required by the Oracle database installer.

Named after Validated Configurations, oracle-validated also creates an oracle OS user and an oinstall and dba group. Kernel parameters are also set properly, ensuring that the Oracle Universal Installer will proceed without complaints. Very nice!
