As a Technical Support Engineer that look after Oracle applications, I =
have many customers that are using Oracle on NT Platform running with no =
or minimal problems.   The answer on rather you want to platform on =
LINUX or NT depends on which operating system your DBA and System =
Administrators are more comfortable.   A lot of my customers choose the =
NT platform because it is easy to administrate.   Often, the Oracle DBA =
is also the NT System Administrator.



For small to mid Database system, NT will work fine.   Linux will work =
fine under this environment as well. =20

  Oh please,   there is more support and chance of getting something =
