I am relatively new to Oracle and am assigned to determine the spec for a
few servers to house Oracle databases. I need your help in shedding a light
on the factors involved in making a wise decision for the features and specs
of the servers.

If there are some literature that addresses such concerns and contain
guidelines on this subject, please let me know.

I appreciate your help in this matter.

There is set of technologies/methodologies devoted to sizing and specs.
They require that you first know what your performance requirements are
(IO, memory, CPU, network load). You can find more information about this

Nobody mentioned an OS here, except you.

The fact remains that performance engineering techniques are universal.
You start with raw performance data (requirements or otherwise) and you
create models based on them. You rule out as many of the bad ones you can,
and then calibrate. It works for AIX, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Linux, and even
Windows. All of the performance technology mentioned in the references
applies to nearly all OS's.
