Well lets see here ... just for ORACLE EE (not even OAS, not even ORACLE APPS

Interesting that you don't include solaris 10 there. The matrix for 9.2 and 10.2 currently looks like this for solaris

OS	Product	Certified With	Version	Status	Addtl. Info.	Components	Other	Install Issue
9	10gR2 64-bit	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
8	10gR2 64-bit	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
10	10gR2 64-bit	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
2.6	9.2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
9	9.2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
8	9.2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
7	9.2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
10	9.2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None

and this for RedHat

Server Certifications

OS	Product	Certified With	Version	Status	Addtl. Info.	Components	Other	Install Issue
Red Hat Enterprise AS/ES 4	10gR2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
Red Hat Enterprise AS/ES 3	10gR2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4	9.2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3	9.2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 2.1	9.2	N/A	N/A	Certified	Yes	None	None	None

for 10gr2 in both cases the additional notes are that 10.2.0.2 is available. Suggesting that support for linux from Oracle is less good than support for Solaris really doesn't wash. Especially as I've excluded the RAC doesn't work in solaris 10 containers special note.
