If you don't install or configure X11 then it boots to init3 by default. In kickstart the config option is 'skipx'. As others have mentioned fedora and centos admin is very similar. My personal preference of course is RHEL 5 for Oracle, your already paying quite a bit for Oracle my view is might as well pay a little bit more for a supported OS(and yes I know that CentOS is a clone of RHEL..). Unless of course Oracle changed their support policies I haven't used it since I was at my previous company about a year ago. They didn't support CentOS at the time. nate
