Depends on which planet you come from. A lot of Oracle databases run
on Windows NT/2000. And in a mixed shop, you'll probably won't be
allowed to touch Oracle on UNIX before you have touched Oracle on
Windows for a few years - for experience purposes - pointy haired
boses don't like inexperienced people touching multi-million dollar
Oracle on Unix boxes. You'd probably get started minding small Oracle
on NT/2000 first.
