Oracle 10g Client on Ubuntu

I recently got a new laptop at work and put Ubuntu on it. Unfortunately my company uses Oracle, so that means I somehow had to get the Oracle client tools on there. I was quite dismayed to see Oracle has a requirement that it only installs on Suse and Red Hat.

Luckily This Broken World had already figured it out and posted these helpful instructions for how to get it to work. The instructions target Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon), but they worked just fine for my 32-bit 8.04 (Hardy Heron) install.
