I've run Oracle on both NT and Netware. Given the choice I'd choose NT any day (much easier to install and manage; new releases come out first on NT, as do fixes; NT 'pages' memory, unlike Netware; etc., etc.)

Only reason I can think of using Netware over NT is when you have a site that is pure Novell with no Microsoft NT knowledge in place.

Of course, UNIX is *much, much* better than NT... Ah, I can feel the flames starting already! :-)
