DBA/SysAdmin requirements when migrating oracle from NT to Linux might be a better topic for this list.

In the first place - your hardware configuration just plain sucks for NT.
It will also suck for Linux, just less.
Oracle on NT is far better off with a single, faster CPU than 2 slower CPUs.
You have everything, including the OS, swap, oracle binaries, online redo, archived redo, rbs, temp, indexes and data on the same RAID 5 volume.
Do you typically configure file servers? Get yourself at least 4 distinct volumes on separate mount points on separate physical disks.
Developer databases work just fine on a JBOD configuration.

Btw, you were expecting to compare 8.1.5/NT with 8.1.7/Linux? LOL.

let the flames begin.
