This is an interesting debate. In the short term Solaris and Oracle are joined at the hip. recently however Redhat released their 6.2 version that supports Oracle 8i. redhat7.0 does not support Oracle 8i due to the GLIBC version. If I were doing this to make myself a well rounded oracle geek I would go with Redhat (I've got Solaris 8, Redhat 6.2, NT, and soon 2000 Oracle installs now). You can set it up at home for significantly less money than a Solaris install. If you are looking to move into a high end Oracle shop now then go with Solaris - especially if you have a Solaris install to play with.

I personally feel that Linux is going to cream Solaris over the next few years, but it will take some time to gain credibility for Enterprise Oracle installs.

I will learn linux or solaris . And I will setup my oracle databases to linux or oracle then. I want to learn one of them but Which one ?

Which is widely used with oracle? I see lots of emails on solaris here. But the people around me suggest linux .

And which linux is most close to sun-solaris..Red Hat or Slackware( best performance as some say)

If I work on linux-oracle , will it be easy to pass to solaris-oracle in a few days.?

                 TIA
