Hi Scott,
If you explain the "basic issues" you are having we might be able to help
you out.
I have installed Oracle 10g and Veritas Netbackup on CentOS servers with no
problem at all. I've been 100% happy with how things have worked.
If this really is a critical server, I would suggest going with the vendor
supported distribution. Running an (untested to you) distribution that
you are not completely familiar with (on a critical server) is a recipe
for disaster.
