Edison Group - Oracle Unbreakable Linux: True Enterprise-Quality Linux Support

This report from the Edison Group was developed to assist enterprise customers in making the best possible choice for their Linux support. The report draws a close comparison between Red Hat Linux support versus the Oracle Unbreakable Linux support program, through which Oracle is offering the same enterprise-class support for Linux as it provides for its database, middleware, and applications. Oracle has also made available Oracle Enterprise Linux, an installable binary Linux download distribution that Oracle claims to be fully compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Oracle Enterprise Linux is free to download and re-distribute. Edison's labs ran a comparison of the code to verify this claim, with the results included in this report.
