Support costs do not differ between platforms AFAIK.

Oracle has touted Linux as a low cost platform for Oracle.

Where they get you is the licensing for RAC. This may have been what you heard.

Licensing for EE with partitioning on a 2 CPU box lists at $100k.

Add in some enterprise level storage, and then you see that the price of the OS license really doesn't make much difference in the overall cost of the system.
