Sure, these instructions may not tell you the *ideal* setup, but they may get someone around some serious roadblocks. If a "n00b" uses this copy and paste to get Oracle up and running, great! Now they can play with it, tweak it, and spend time understanding what they did and how it's working. If ignorance is bliss, the lone sysadmin is orgasmic.

Ever read the documentation? This type of cliff-notes (pun intended) are exactly what you need to take the hour it took to read and digest the documentation the first time, and make it a quick 5 minute skim so you can get on your way. People new to Oracle should sit down with the docs, learn to hate them, learn to love them, but after that have a shorter reference to go back to. That's exactly what this post is about. I'm sorry you've missed the point of this post, and from what I can see on your blog, many others like it. Somehow I am not surprised to find that "General Ramblings" is your biggest category, but perhaps you could focus some of your energies on providing some informational or at least entertaining content.

If you want to be helpful to n00bs you should explain that you need to set ORACLE_BASE to whatever you installed to, not necessarily /u01/app/oracle.
