I looked into this as soon as Oracle announced it, and Oracle is<br>basically supporting RHEL, but a limited subset of the packages. In<br>other words, yes, they offer support for RHEL at a lower cost and beyond<br>the RHEL life cycle. However, they only support the packages needed to

<br>carefully.<br></blockquote></div><br clear="all">Excellent catch. Oracle, besides MS, may be the most important ISV here in the US and it will be interesting to see the adoption of Oracle Unbreakable Linux because of it.
