So, why migrate to Microsoft, Bob?

IMO, you are just asking for trouble.

Look into MySQL. It may be a more appropriate database than either Oracle or SQL Server.

MySQL is the speed king for "read mostly" applications. It is much, much faster reading than anything else going, while it is slower writing than most.

And, of course, you can migrate the database to a more familiar environment without taking the web front end out of the Unix environment.

If ASP is the issue, I believe you can get ASP for Unix. Why, yes, it's offered by Sun, and I suspect third parties as well:
