Price of Oracle itself is so much more then NT that difference in prices of operating system is insignificant. NT get fixes faster then Linux - for example there is no 8.1.6.2 on linux yet. From another point of view it is much easier administer Oracle on linux then on NT.

Just want to throw in 2 cents.
Such choice must be made based on
- What is this database for? How crucial is it? - How much data are you going to store? - How mary users - etc.
Cost is just one of them.
As far as what I have experiences, Oracle works better on NT than Linux.

It's another beautiful day!

Linux is better because it's free and they provide the source code.

Subject: Oracle on NT vs Oracle on Linux
Dear list !
A friend asked me this question :
they want to build an Oracle DB on a server ( PC ) dedicated exclusively for
the DB .
They ask whether it is better to put a Linux or an NT on that PC .
I.e which OS is better for hosting an Oracle DB on PC ?
What are the pros & cons of each ?
They are mostly concerned about reliability & performance .
TIA .
