The two apps I think you can download from Oracle (at least Iracle9i), and
they include a README file which explains how to start the installer, this
usually a java application and works the same regadles of environment.

RedHat and Oracle are cooperating, so RedHat is IMHO the best choise.

The x86-64 means a 64bits processor, most likely the 64bit processor from
Intel. The second one is the 32bits version of the x86 (Pentium
1-4/Celeron/Xenon & AMD Athlon/Duron).

You can test with RedHat 7.3, which still can be downloaded, but aren't
anymore supported by RedHat, but there is a Fedora project which provides most
vital updates for RedHat 7.3. RedHat 7.3 is the base used to make RedHat Ent2.

You are mixing the binaries, they are for different CPUs, as long as you don't
have a 64bit CPU, you can't use software specially compiled for it. If you
have a 64bit CPU on the machine, then you would need the proper version of
RedHat, best place to look for it is at the RedHat site, www.redhat.com.
FreeBSD is more difficult to setup than RedHat, so I wouldn't recommend it,
stick for the RedHat setup (x86 version of both RedHat and the Oracle software).
