I remember struggling for days to install Oracle 8i on a 192MB laptop
(don't ask why... fscking client requirement). Yeeks.

Yep. Overall, I think PG offers *great* online support.
Some possible places to start looking:
1)
Does anyone have a copy of the O'Reilly book
"Unix for Oracle DBAs Pocket Reference"
(http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unixoracledbapr/)
This might be the kind of information that would be helpful.
2)
Eric Raymond has
"Unix and Internet Fundamentals" HOWTO at
http://linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Unix-and-Internet-Fundamentals-HOWTO/index.html
3)
>From DOS/Windows to Linux HOWTO
http://linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/DOS-Win-to-Linux-HOWTO.html
4) The Linux Reading List HOWTO
