Basically why I am saying NT is because of webserver/oracle combination that the poster wants to set up.

What I understand from the results/analysis of the benchmark that I read is that the linux operating systems ip/stack (note: I haven't indepth technical knowledge of tcp/ip/networking) is not multithreaded or suchlike. therfore when servicing multiple http requests, the operating system peaks at a certain level. This has nothing to do with Oracle, and NT does not suffer from this problem.

The other consideration in making my suggestion is that Oracle has just recently been released on Linux, so I assume that there may still be bugs etc.
