Dick,
I agree completely with your #1. We run on all of these platforms here (the Linux is running off my desktop). I have not had any Oracle support calls on the AIX system, but it is a very lightly used db. IBM's hw support response is awesome though. I put it above HP's which is pretty good for our area. (Location caveat: I am in Sioux Falls, SD - ANY call will most likely be a minimum of 4HRS wait probably 8 depending on the vendor). I haven't dealt with Sun support here. As mentioned in other posts, I am my support for Linux. We met with Oracle and HP reps back in 2001. They did confirm that HP is the development platform for Oracle, and that 64bit is being worked on both the PA-RISC and IA64 processors on HP. So...

HP
AIX (fast hw support in the boonies is cool)
Sun (Have fits with ksh on Sun it doesn't work the same as the other two)
Linux (May move up if had 3rd party 7X24 support available)

Another shot across the bow:

Hp-UX if you like to sleep at night
Solaris if you want speed and sleepless nights Aix if neither of the above is of any value in your life Linux if both are valuable & $$$ are a consideration

The degree of normality in a database is inversely proportional to that of its DBA.
