Those are supported platforms for Oracle 8i, the new 9i release is much more troubled. I have experienced enomous problems with Linux. The AIX 5.1 is defenetely not working - it complains that executables are deprecated format and fails to relink on top of that there is only 64 bit verssion available for AIX and the only os supported is 4.3.3.
