There's a free offer currently on at OTN's Linux Technology Centre where you can download a full, developer copy of United Linux for free.

United Linux is a joint effort between SuSE, Connectiva, SCO Group (boo!) and TurboLinux, where each company produces a version of Linux, for the enterprise, that is interoperable and appears the same to any application such as Oracle 9i. It's their way of countering the market prescence of Redhat and, whilst Oracle seem to be putting most of their effort behind Redhat Advanced Server, they're also making sure 9i and 9iAS work well on United Linux.

You have to fill in a registration form and they then send you a download link via email. At present, the SuSE link seems to be down, although it should be up again soon. I'd recommend taking a look at this, as it's otherwise quite difficult to get hold of the product and it's an excellent distribution.
