I liked Solaris Intel a lot.  But it has a short HCL compare to Linux.  And not as many
applications are available on it as Solaris/Sparc or Linux.  So if you have the 
hardware
that's on the HCL and you are just running Oracle then go for it.

If there are no issues with Solaris on Intel, I would be enclined to prefer
that to LINUX or NT.

Just an opinion, and I haven't worked with Oracle on Solaris for Intel, but
it sounds good to me!

        Patrice:

        Oracle for Solaris x86 has been out for a while.  I am running it on
one of my
        machines at home.  It's Oracle!  It's Solaris!  It's Intel (AMD in
my case)!
        It's a 3-in-1 wonder toy!  ;-)

        Seriously, take a look at http://store.oracle.com under the "CD
Packs" area.
        There will be one for "Sun Solaris Intel".
