Oracle's Red Hat Bombshell

by Curt Hall

By far the biggest news out of the Oracle OpenWorld Conference was Oracle's announcement that it will "support" Red Hat Linux. Just in case you missed this bombshell, the new "Oracle Unbreakable Linux" will be almost exactly like the open source operating system (OS) distributed by Red Hat. The main differences are that Oracle will strip the Red Hat trademarks from the software and Oracle will offer support services for about half of what Red Hat charges. Oracle also says it will support older versions of the OS.
