It's almost identical. Oracle kernel parameters & dependencies can be automatically installed during installation albeit later on Oracle RDBMS installation gives you warnings since it doesn't like the default values in /etc/sysctl.conf as populated by OEL.
The rest? Almost completely identical to upstream.
I didn't find a samba package, but as this was for one oracle developer to transfer files, we just used winscp. (I also didn't look hard for a samba package, at present, this is just a test.)
Are you sure?
[root@fubar ~]# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/smbd samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5
Disk naming seems slightly different--we went with more standard partitions rather than LVM, and rather than /dev/sda and so on, it was /dev---arrgh, I'm not at work, and my mind just went blank--errm, xda and xdb? At any rate, it will be fairly obvious.
Nope, all comes as sda/sdb etc. if you don't use LVM unless your external storage is funky.
assume (but note, that's an assumption, not knowledge), one could call and ask things like, Where can I find samba?
Erm, maybe one of these should contain it? (It is pretty visible during the installation).

(Samba client and samba common was available, but no smbd. Again, I did NO googling on this, just did yum provides */smbd, got no results, and then used WinSCP.)
It appears you didn't even look for it. :)
