[Zope] Question for those who have used Oracle/Zope : which OS works best ? best ?

[chas]

I usually work on FreeBSD or NT but now have to set up 
a Zope-based site that will be powered by an Oracle8 DB.
The  Oracle8 DB is already running on an AIX box and 
now I have to choose an Operating System for the boxes
that will run the Zope/Apache front ends. 

It seems that the DCOracle connector needs SQLNet (from
the Oracle client) to be installed. Since Oracle has not
been ported to FreeBSD, this means I have to look for
a new OS for this project.  In addition, I have noticed 
a lot of posts from people having problems integrating 
Oracle/DCOracle/Zope.

I really want to concentrate on the web application and
not waste days/weeks fiddling with Oracle connectors
or SQLNet (with Oracle 7.x on NT I remember this could be 
troublesome to set up). ie. Ideally, it'd work right "out
the box".

Which OS would you recommend as the Zope webserver in 
this case ? 

Thank you very much,
