Hi,

in our developement environment we run Oracle on NT 4, Novell and SuSE Linux. Our customers run Oracle on NT 4, Novell, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX etc. @home I run it on W2k and SuSE Linux

Conclusion: forget about the OS, first learn the concepts of relational database systems, learn how to implement your customers requirements with Oracle, use the OS effectively, but don't worry too much about it, as far as you're not a production DBA
