I'm looking for information on necessary and recommended system
requirements for running Oracle on various Unix platforms.  
Part of this I expect to get from the vendor documentation once
I get my hands on it; what's more important to me is to get
an assessment of real-world problems and how much hardware
needs to be thrown at them.

Systems of interest, roughly in order of appearance, are Sun 3, Dec
3100, Sun 4, Apollo, and (possibly) NeXT.  For each of these it would
be useful to know what o.s. releases are supported, what the suggested
minimum configuration (real memory, swap space, disk allotment) is,
and where added resources are best used.  

Thanks for any help you can provide.
