I recently had a play with Weblogic server 10 on Ubuntu Jeos 8.04. I was surprised with how easy it was to install weblogic onto ubuntu, especially after working with heavy weight opmn managed oracle oc4j server. Here are the steps:
1. Install Ubuntu Jeos.
2. Install Samba
sudo apt-get install samba
configure your ubuntu account to be samba account.
3. Install Sun JDK 6.
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk (This automatically set the env variables and configure your path).
4. Download weblogic installation file. Make sure you download the generic version (server1001_generic.jar).
5. Refer to the installation document.

6. I install weblogic into my user home folder. This is the easy option as the permissions on files are alreay configured.
7. To create a new weblogic domain, run sudo WEBLOGIC_HOME/common/bin/config.sh. Make sure that the script is run as a root user, otherwise it will hang.
The whole experience was very smooth. And the installation was very very easy.
Have to give a big thumb to the support of weblogic on Linux!
