Most common Oracle/Linux implementation?

Im studying to take my Oracle examinations later this yr.

I know Oracle has their own distro of linux - a red hat based one - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Enterprise_Linux

Question is: for people working with oracle in commercial environments - what flavor of linux is most commonly used - fedora, centOS, oracle unbreakable linux, other?

Currently the vast majority of Oracle on Linux shops are running it on RHEL. I run on CentOS myself to keep costs down. I don't need OS support. I don't need Oracle TAR support either. It works good for us. We are not a "production" shop either. You can use CentOS for your lab testing and the same things will run the same way on RHEL.

In your experience cablegod, are there more Oracle shops on Windows or on Linux? And if neither, which OS then?

Most I see are on Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, and Windows, in that order.
