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

    Subject:       Oracle on NT vs Oracle on Linux

    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 .
