I don't have experience with Linux on RS/6000, but I would sure
like to give it a try.
An RS/6000 is a much faster box than a more expensive Sun box.
Since IBM supports Linux on their HW, and Oracle supports
their RDBMS on Linux, I would jump at the chance for this combination.

Does anyone have any strong opinions or useful reference on the
performance,
reliability and scalability of Oracle (probably 8.1.7) on Linux (SuSE?) as
against Solaris?
We're spec'ing up some kit for a new production d/b and the cost of
upgrading one of our existing Suns is so high that it would probably be
cheaper to buy a new Linux box (I would guess an IBM). The database is
going to be around 20Gb & we were looking at ~4 processors and ~2Gb RAM.
