Note that Werner doesn't focus on Oracle Apps on Linux and for the DB only
covers 91 to 10g.
Oracle Apps comes with 2 stacks of Oracle Rdbms (8i and 9i) and the
application server 9iAS.

Oracle Apps install with the Rapid Wizard and all the compiling/relinking is
done automatically without the need to manual intervention.
