OK, let me switch to sherlock holmes mode and do some analysis and deduction.

1) When you say "large",it implies that you will not be the only DBA,in fact, you will a DBA team member.
2) The usual recruitment process is two or more rounds of technical interview.Assuming that you have cleared them successfully and you don't know anything about Oracle 10G or Linux, it can be deduced that they have not asked any such questions related to aboce topic ==> they are not expecting an experianced guy in these topics, and they don't expect you to start delivering from the instant you join..Furthermore it can also be deduced that they already have some senior guys handling the systems presently.
So they are going to teach you what you don't know.
3) As oracle 8 has been desupported by Oracle corp.(In fact, oracle 9i will be desuppported by July next year), the probabilty of finding jobs on these versions is becoming less and less.It also implies sooner or later you will also have to start on Oracle 10G.

Elementary, my dear samad. Elementary.
