Whether it is necessary Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (OUEK) on RHEL 5.5 x64 for Oracle 11gR2

In "Oracle® Database Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux "- requirements to OS kernel are described (chapter 2.3.2 Kernel Requirements).

For the 64-bit version (Linux x86-64) such requirement is specified
"On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 5 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Linux
2.6.32 or later"

Thus in chapter 1.3.3 About Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Linux it is written:
Oracle highly recommends deploying the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel in your Linux environment, especially if you run Oracle software. However, using Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is optional.


I.e. OUEK is an option and I can not install it.

Questions:

1) whether I Can really put OUEK and exploit Oracle on the version of a kernel 2.6.18

Howdy, Stranger!
