You might want to wait for SuSE 7.3 which is due out Oct 12. See http://www.suse.de/en/press/press_releases/archive01/73.html

Yes, should be in the stores by today. If your taget is Oracle, you might want to use the SLES-7 Product (it's new, too), or stick to 7.2. Go to http://www.suse.de/en/support/oracle/ to get more details. There is also a table that shows the compatibility. Since 7.3 is brandnew, no compat test results have been made public as of today. Even though a different version of the glibc has been introduced in 7.3, your oracle applications _could_ run fine. It is advisable to keep to the information on the webpage above, though. For Security, make sure that all ports that you don't need are closed. Install all updates, as usual!
