Hey buddy when you are new to Oracle, you want to minimize the number of unknowns you throw into the mix.

You should probably start the learning process on the operating system you are most familiar with.

If you want to work with the Windows, then by all means try the Windows downloads of Oracle Database 11gR2.

It's a good way to get into the product, without having to start learning any new OS technology.

Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) certification is a pretty good starting point for any aspiring DBA.


A good way to get a feel for new operating systems is to try playing about with Oracle VirtualBox.

It will allow you to run multiple virtual machines with different operating systems on your PC

Once you feel happy with VirtualBox and installation of Linux on VMs, you can consider doing a simple Oracle installation on a Linux VM

When you are feeling confident with that basic stuff, you can consider looking at installations using Automatic Storage Manager (ASM).

The use of ASM means you will need some aspects of the Grid Infrastructure technology.

So best of luck for your preparation and if you want more details feel free to contact again
