I can't think of any reason not to. In fact, in your position, with noone
that has any pre-conceived notions or prejudices, I'd definitiely recommend
ORacle Linux.
Mainly, because of the following:
- Oracle optimized UEK (Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel)
- availability of preinstall package (oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall)
to very quickly set up almost all prerequisites in one easy step
- ASMLib kernel module is built in to UEK, and Other ASMLib pacakages
available via yum.
It's my preferred distribution for Oracle server systems.

So we are going to be converting our database from Windows 2008R2 64bit

preference on the flavor. I am just assuming we would go with Oracle
Linux. Seems like it should be the perfect match. Any reason why not?
