RE: transportable tablespaces

Only
if the datafiles are the same between the two systems.  As far as I have been able to test, this only works with Sun and HP.  The datafiles in both cases are the same, and Oracle will not complain about them.  There are probably some caveats.. such as 32 vs. 64 bit, and different versions of oracle not available on different platforms, little endian vs. big endian... and so on.    I don't think it will work with any other unix systems.  You can always give it a try -- let us know.

do transportable tablespaces work between different OSes?  I wouldn't think so, but I thought I'd ask.
