Oracle in Linux Environment

[Hawke]

I've heard good things about BSD (openBSD/freeBSD).
they are the closest to sun/solaris and are designed for the
X86 architecture.

also, you might consider a sun/solaris setup for the X86 Architecture
(I know they have it as I was recently offered a copy of their version 
7 for only $7.00 USD)

I am still a ewbie to BSD, but I am starting to get into the hang
of things (will be burning a copy of 2.8 with all the installation and
tools tonight).
