If you read down a little bit in the article, you'll see a part where it says:
"Oracle also reserves the right to stop supporting its Linux customers at any time (PDF): It may become necessary as a part of Oracle's support life cycle to desupport certain Enterprise Linux and Oracle VM program releases and, therefore, Oracle reserves the right to desupport certain Enterprise Linux and Oracle VM program releases." This is one of the reasons why the places where I work at use Red Hat Enterprise Linux and not Oracle Unbreakable Linux. If there is any kind of a migration afoot in the Linux community, it's from Red Hat to Ubuntu Server and NOT from Red Hat to Oracle Unbreakable Linux (FYI: I never said I was for or against Oracle Unbreakable Linux, I'm just telling it how I see it). The "Ubuntu Server" distribution (not to be confused with the Ubuntu desktop distribution with the fecal brown coloured desktop) is one of the most under-rated server operating systems out there IMO. First time I used it, I was thinking- "Wow, this is exactly like Debian, except it has more frequent updates and MUCH better hardware support." I always had a soft-spot in my heart for Debian, so I guess I might be a little biased. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
