Err, actually since the latest OEL 5 release uses the 2.6.32 kernel (same as RHEL6), but the userspace is largely RHEL5, you are likely to hit some packaging/repository issues when using the Dell RHEL6 on it, I'd guess. http://lwn.net/Articles/406242/ ... but since Dell support both RHEL5, and RHEL6, I would have thought things will largely work. There is also some sort of agreement between Dell / Oracle, however it looks like you need to go to Oracle for the actual support, and it doesn't indicated which servers are supported: http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/161333 Tim. -- South East Open Source Solutions Limited Registered in England and Wales with company number 06134732.
