Oracle Recomendation

We have a requirement to build a database with one table having approximately 2 million rows. We will have 35,000 new inserts a month with lots of indexes on the table. The inserts will occur in chuncks of 50-100 records at a time. The database will have very little updating. There will be a maximum of 10 users logged into the system at any given time doing query type activity.

Should we go with Oracle 6 or 7?
What Unix platforms should we consider?
How much of a DBA's time will this database chew up?

I realize that I have been very vague on the response time required but we are basically new to Unix and Oracle and just looking for suggestions from people running REAL!! databases with this technology.
