If you're looking at enterprise databases, then TPC results are a good
indicator of how Linux stacks up against the commercial Unices:

You'll notice Linux is on top of the pile of TPC-C at the moment (and
interestingly, Sun is nowhere to be seen). Other OSes (and databases)
are stronger in other areas (e.g., TPC-W). Look for a benchmark with
a similar workload to your expected usage, and compare the results
against the commercial Unices.
