Oracle have trouble making up their minds about these
things.  They used to certify occasional releases of
Red Hat and SuSE, then they fell out with RH and would
only do SuSE, now they seem to like both again.

Of course, there's a difference between "supported",
"certified" and "recommended", and I bet there's a big
section of the internal support policy manual about
ignoring troublesome customers with non-certified
configurations.
