This is how it was explained to me...

The majority of core Oracle Database code is currently written on
Oracle Linux x86_64. With that in mind, it is often considered to be
the most well tested, since everything else is essentially a port.

There is some specific development on Solaris and due to the
difference between Windows and the UNIX/Linux brigade, there is quite
a lot of Windows-specific development.

I've never run the numbers to see what percentage of bugs are
registered on each platform, so I would not like to guess which is the
most buggy (AIX). :)

Having lived through the death of Oracle on TRU64 and now Oracle on
HP-UX, my advice would always be, use the OS they are writing the
product on!

Having said all that, I would still suggest you will get the best
experience by using the OS your are most comfortable with. If nobody
knows Linux in your department, you will probably have a bad time
using Linux etc.

Other opinions are valid. :)

Cheers

Tim...
