It is normal for our HP and Sun Microsystem Oracle DB Servers to be up 100+ consecutive days. I've heard good things about Oracle on SCO-Unix on PCs. Since you already have PCs, you might want to consider running SCO-Unix on them (or Solaris version of Unix).

There are so many versions of Unix that Oracle will run on, that I will not try to list them all here.
