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.

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

    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 .
