Oracle Documentation

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882\_01/install.112/e16763/pre_install.htm\#CHDFFBIF

why not using a linux that is known to work? also, linux == linux (with little differences). so if one linux works with oracle, another should also.
the best way is to test your configuration and build knowledge... if that is not possible, go for a supported configuration and use the fine documentation.

I too thought like that may be it will offer support

,but just now i installed Oracle 10g Xe in ubuntu 10.10,it's not opening

oracle@ubuntu:~$ sqlplus / as sysdba
sqlplus: command not found

That just means that sqlplus is not found on your PATH. You did set up a user called oracle, ORACLE_HOME, SID and all the requisite environmental variables?

Here is a typical setup script for oracle. You will need to modify it to suit your particular setup.

# Oracle Settings
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR

ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ultra.xfpmurphy.com; export ORACLE_HOSTNAME
ORACLE_UNQNAME=orcl; export ORACLE_UNQNAME
ORACLE_BASE=/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=orcl; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_TERM=xterm; export ORACLE_TERM
PATH=/usr/sbin:$PATH; export PATH
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH; export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
    if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
        ulimit -p 16384
        ulimit -n 65536
    else
        ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
    fi
fi

Where do u want this whole thing to be modified..Sorry for my poor knowledge,I am new to this Linux platform(5th day).
I have working knowledge on windows for the past 6 years..

It would be of great help if u make it understand to me here in Linux

In all honesty, I wouldn't dualboot with Linux.

Also, there is tons of documentation.
