“Oracle made a weird announcement at its Oracle
OpenWorld love-fest and trade-show. The company announced that it

Kernel for Oracle Linux.

Unbreakable Linux, which Oracle introduced not quite four-years

Linux. It was Red Hat’s Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) with an
Oracle Linux logo pasted on the front.

“But, this time, Oracle swears its new Oracle Linux is
different.”
