Not what we hear. We hear it's significantly slower. Several companies around here implemented Oracle on it, then switched to Linux because the speed was so atrocious.
Add into that the lack of software for the platform and it's a bad idea.

Cant speak to oracle on solaris x86, linux rac would be
better there. As fast or faster for other things such as store and forward, transient computations and other items we have experimented with. As far as enterprise support it is cheaper than redhat and the availability of enterprise software is pretty good
thanx,
