I'm out of a job and need access to Unix and ORACLE environments to hone out my skills. Can anyone suggest how I can go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

linux and Oracle can be freely downloaded. Try Fedora 1 or 2 as a linux distro. Go to the Oracle home page to check which linux/fedora distro's are supported by the latest release (10.x). Mandrake or a recent Redhat would also do the job.
If you are running XP, you will need 2/3 gig of additional disk space to run Linux+Oracle.
BTW, I also run Sybase 12.5 on linux.

I underestimated - my Oracle 9.2 (i selected most options) is >3.4GIG You will need >5GB
Linux and Oracle installs are rarely simple.
There are numerous sites from google'ing "linux install" and "oracle linux OR redhat install"
Key point: always make sure you can boot from diskette for XP and also for Linux.
This is on a 4-year old iMac 400MHz 512MB. Admittedly it's the 9.2 "Developer's Release" i.e. beta, so there is no Oracle JVM and consequently I can reduce the SGA somewhat (java_pool_size=1, shared_pool_size=25000000). Total disk space under $ORACLE_HOME is around 1GB. Looking forward to the 10g production release for Mac expected later this year.
