Having worked on all 3: Solaris is the most basic (open), AIX is done the IBM way
(unique to IBM), and HPUX is somewhere in the middle. They each leap frog one
another. I would go for the best bang for the buck. Nowadays, they are getting
desperate :)
As for Oracle versions, go for 9i.

Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX.
I am bias to Solaris as I am acustom to it, but with the change in direction
of Oracle, I am considering HP-UX, and due to the cost and performance
benefits of AiX, I am also looking there. So in answer, I really don't
know. I would like to say Sun but I don't think they would be my best
choice.

I am starting a new company, I am going to be building a platform which will
use Oracle database as it's infrastructure. It will be a very large
application and environment If all goes well. It will take about a year
from start to finish till I will attempt to be live. I am debating about
using 9i or sticking with 8.1.7. Since it will be in development, I am
comfortable within a year 9i should just be about stable, and would be nice
to already be on it's features, specially it's OPS features. And not have
to worry about the big move over (and probably costly) in the future.
During development it would be easy to have 8.1.7 and 9i side by side just
in case something crops ups and hinders our path.
Anyone have anything bad to say about that idea? Let them rip, and be
honest.
