All oracle developers these days must get familiar with oracle virtual box concepts.. there is base images available from oracle for download for you to play around with. After downloading these images, you can add software to it and save it as a copy for you to transfer to different machines... how cool is that!!!
However if you are a novice, you need to get familiar with how to add disk space, to the base VMs. Most oracle base VM images come with just enough space, so for adding a new software (either middleware or database management tools for example) these instructions come handy.
