MySql and PostgreSql are in the RedHat repositories and their 
install and configuration will be many times easier than Oracle.

Not only that, but creating a database with Oracle is also more 
complicated. And getting the GUI running requires a decent 
configuration. There are GUI tools available for both MySql and 
PostgreSql that are far easier to start using than the Oracle 
tools.

Regarding your knowledge of MS Access. You will be able to use 
the relational database theory that you learned. But I do not 
think you will be able to use any any of the application 
knowledge with any other database server available.
