If your target is unattended Oracle server and nothing more, I'd bet on Netware. Cheap, too. Once tuned, on mirrored disks, it's quite stable. Oracle on Unix is more flexible, for the price of administering. SCO has unreliable file system, and in case of system crash, can require manual recovering.
