You hit it on the head, Bernard, with the 3rd-party support. We'd be running some of our smaller ancillary DBs on Solaris x86-64 (Opterons rock!), except IBM has stated that they will not support a Tivoli backup client for it. As such, I'm stuck with a pair of very slow V100s. Takes over a business day to build the 10g AS repository for OID Naming... :(  

As far as gains that Solaris has over Linux for running Oracle, I don't have to put up with RedHat's icky licensing, installation, and package management. And if I'm not mistaken, Mladen weren't you complaining about kernel and/or memory management limitations in Linux in general not too long ago? If I could guarantee that Oracle Support would support an installation on Gentoo (no Puschitz Linux help required -- Oracle just works on it), I'd consider it, but again only for "smaller" DBs. Our ERP's going to stay on good ol' Unix.

Operating System (x86-64)                  

        I must agree with Gogala : Solaris Intel exists since more than 10 years and never break through.         

        Beside that, what do you have more with Solaris Intel than Linux ?

        You will surely have much less third party software ported from Solaris Sparc to Solaris Intel than from Solaris Sparc to Linux..
