Six months after Oracle announced plans to undercut Red Hat with its Unbreakable Linux support plan, the company has revealed the names of first hardware and software vendors supporting its Oracle Enterprise Linux variant.
Under the Unbreakable Linux plan, the company has taken Red Hat’s Enterprise Linux code and added its own patches and bug fixes to create OEL, which it is supporting alongside standard Red Hat installations, via Unbreakable.
Will need to read up on this, it looks very cool, will be interesting to see how this affects the other Linux/Unix distributions, but by aligning with one platform, Oracle can create a Linux based Oracle configuration which is optimized for its software applications, very cool.
