I'm responding to both here instead of inline to both. First off, you will
need mono installed on the linux box, and from what I hear windows forms
isn't terribly good. There is a GTK# implemntation, you may want to look
into designing your UI using that. It probably won't look as good(GTK isn't
terribly pretty, IMHO), but it will probably work across the platforms.

As for ADO.NET, I can't say much about working with oracle, but I hear the
oracle provided provider is better than the microsoft one. You should
probably look into that as well.
