What distribution/version of Linux would you recommend (RedHat, Suse, etc.)?

Thanks

It run beautifully. i've been running oracle(not so much production but up thru testing/QA) on linux platform since 8.0.

I love it.

You know that the datafiles format is not compatible, so the only choice to "migrate" to linux is exp/imp.

It runs on linux like it runs on any other *nix(except for solaris, now where do they keep that oratab file, oh yea /var/opt/oracle, instead of /etc) :)

Any questions don't hesitate to ask.
