Of course, I'll set up Oracle again, which appears to be very easy, as Oracle provided a Debian (and thus Ubuntu) repository. This should allow Debian and Ubuntu users to install Oracle by using Synaptic Package Manager. Point an shoot installs... I am curious!
Add the repository
You do have to make Ubuntu aware of the fact Oracle is a source of software, too. For that, you need to add the location of the repository to your configuration. This is accomplished by:frank@cs-frank03:~$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
# Oracle stuff
deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free
deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free
After that, update the libraries to allow Software Center to show Oracle, enter:
frank@cs-frank03:~$ sudo apt-get update
Now, fire up Synaptic, and click on the 'Origin' button; you should see oss.oracle.com/main listed. Point at it, and you will see XE (in two flavours) and the XE client.
Now, if only I just wanted XE...
yum
For non-Debian, there's support for yum as well; check it out!

I think after editing sources list this needs to be run
wget http://oss.oracle.com/el4/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle -O- | sudo apt-key add -
for the public key according to this document
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html
otherwise when you update you get
Err http://oss.oracle.com unstable/main Packages
404 Not Found
Err http://oss.oracle.com unstable/non-free Packages
404 Not Found

W: GPG error: http://oss.oracle.com unstable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2E2BCDBCB38A8516
Unfortunately, this is no workee:
eading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: http://oss.oracle.com unstable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2E2BCDBCB38A8516
Mladen: that would be a warning, I think stuff is installed, despite the warning.
And the solution is --indeed-- to import the key, as noted by Coskan. Coskan, thanks for pointing out this omission!
Thanks, Coskan! This works.
Frank,
I have strange issues with sysstats, Would you mind if I ask you to gather system stats and paste the system statistics here. On Ubuntu my sreadtim and mreadtim is unbelievable big numbers but a database on the same ubuntu host but a virtual machine has expected sreadtim and mreadtim. I wonder if this is because of ubuntu or my machine spesific. I will really appreciate if you can test this.
