I finally finished my article entitled, "Building an Inexpensive Oracle9i RAC Configuration on Linux". For this article, I put together two Linux boxes (Fedora Core 1) and using a FireWire drive for the shared storage device. The article is lengthy, but I tried to cover every possible issue while performing this type of install. Please keep in mind that this is for development purposes only and not support by Oracle.

I hope this helps.
