I installed on a RaQ 4, however I assume they are similar.

I downloaded the standard Oracle 8.1.6 Enterprise Edition for Linux version, 
then found that it uses a Java installer that requires X.  Therefore, I had to 
install an X Windows server, (it doesn't matter which display server is 
selected, since there's no video card in the box.)  Once the libraries are in 
place, you can then install the Vnc server, which is available here: 
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ 

The Oracle install is quite long, but there's plenty of documentation available 
on the Web (e.g., http://www.arsdigita.com/doc/install-guide/oracle.html)

Main thing to note is that Oracle takes a lot of resources, especially RAM.
