The only free OS it will be supported on now is going to be linux unfortunately (assuming it doesnt have to be redhat enterprise). However if you are getting paid support on Oracle, then I doubt it will be much more to get a support contract for solaris, therefore if you are mission critical that would be your best option as you would have full vendor support and have zfs, which is very useful for hot backups.
