I am seeking input on possible Operating Systems to migrate our Oracle Apps 11.5.9 two-tier windows platform to. We would like to mgrate the database to 64-bit hardware. Preferably, we would like to move everything to 64-bit. However, on some platforms the Oracle Apps are only certified on 32-bit hardware so we would have to do a split configuration, i.e. Apps on 32-bit and database on 64-bit.

We are not fluent in Unix/Linux and just taking courses now.

Do you have any suggestions on a direction to go?

Are people migrating the database for the Apps to 64-bit or are most people still 32-bit?

What about keeping database on 64-bit Windows and middle tier on something else?

Our Oracle Apps database is 110 G in size now - what would be time to migrate if moving to non-windows hardware for the database?
