Don't think so, because it's completely unsupported...
and btw. even the Oracle installer will not start on a non supported system

It's a wiki - feel free to do it :)

In general yes,
But orarun2 does not exist for opensuse 11.x and SUSE Linux Enterprise 
Server 11 - it builds only on SLES10

Orarun2 is a unmaintained special version of the normal orarun package 
we ship with every SLES. I would be happy to get some help for it ....
it needs some rewrite.

You should really use SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for an Oracle Database.

Then a) it's supported
      b) orarun is included in SLES
      c) there is documentation
         - from SUSE/Novell 
(http://www.novell.com/products/server/oracle/documents.html)
         - from Oracle

Please have a look at
   http://www.novell.com/partners/oracle/
especial at
   http://www.novell.com/products/server/oracle/

To try out oracle you should have a look at the oracleXE rpm from Oracle.
Much easier to install ;)
