You have to pay for not limited version.
11g Express Edition is limited to 11 GB of data and 1 GB of RAM.
Since you plan to have 12 channels (each aprox. 1.1 GiB) you will very
probably hit the data limit.
And using only one GB of RAM is not performance booster either.

All frequently used pages/functions should work. But there are still
queries we did not migrate for sure. Can you live with Spacewalk where
some functions are limited? Are you willing to debug/report/fix errors
when you encounter one?

So it result to options:

a) you have time to fix problems - go with free postgresql

b) you do not want to be bothered with any problems - buy license from
Oracle. Or buy RHN Satellite which comes with Embedded Oracle license
already.
