Most likely not because you don't have the source therefore, you would
most likely have inncompatable libraries. Check and see if the
executables are dynamic or not using ldd.

This is not for a Production Server, but for some quick testing.
I realize there is an issue with glibc:

Patch Description
-----------------
Oracle8i for Linux is shipped with archived objects which were compiled using
glibc-2.1.3. The executable components are then linked at install-time using
these archives. Due to compatibility limitations in glibc, if the target
system for an installation is based on a later version of glibc, then the
executables produced by the linker will not be valid. As a workaround to
this limitation, we have created a set of stub libraries which are used at
link-time only to mimic the contents of glibc-2.1.3 shared objects. Note
that these stub libraries do not contain valid executable code, and therefore
*must NOT* be included in the library path searched by the dynamic loader
(i.e., do not include $ORACLE_HOME/lib/stubs in LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Should I instead go back to say RedHat 9?
I can not obtain RHES or it's siblings for this test.
Thank you!
