Does anyone have any strong opinions or useful reference on the performance, reliability and scalability of Oracle (probably 8.1.7) on Linux (SuSE?) as against Solaris?

We're spec'ing up some kit for a new production d/b and the cost of upgrading one of our existing Suns is so high that it would probably be cheaper to buy a new Linux box (I would guess an IBM). The database is going to be around 20Gb & we were looking at ~4 processors and ~2Gb RAM.
