[Cialug] Oracle Considering Own Linux Version

[Brandon Griffis]

I'm a bit dismayed by the Oracle CEO's comment about having to re-look at
the relationship they have with Red Hat, and even more dismayed that he's
trying to pull IBM along.  Just because Red Hat ownes JBoss does not mean
they'll stop supporting Oracle.  First, that would be financially stupid as
so many Red Hat customers use it and those customers are not about to switch
over just because Red Hat says so.  Second it goes against the philosophy of
Linux running/supporting everything and Red Hat is not about to buck that
horse.

Oracle runs on Windows and though MS is a competitor I don't hear the Oracle
CEO saying that they need to re-examine the relationship there.

This is probably just an orchestrated scare tatic to try and keep Red Hat
form pushing JBoss too hard.

I also doubt Novell is about to sell out to Oracle.  They've only recently
(a couple years) aquired SuSE, and they're still pushing to add more
market.  They're not the kind of fizzling company you'd usually see before a
buy out.
