Oracle is providing its Linux users with a new Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) 3 release that enables new server capabilities.

The UEK kernel is a way for Oracle to provide an updated set of capabilities in Linux beyond what Red Hat packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Oracle Linux is based on RHEL, but that doesn’t mean that it needs to be limited by it either.
