"No one saw this coming. People talked about Oracle making its own Linux, or buying a Linux company (Ubuntu?). But, the news that Oracle is erasing Red Hat's trademarks from Unbreakable Linux and supporting it for less than Red Hat is a bolt from the blue. Or, perhaps, I should say that Oracle is firing a shot at the heart of Red Hat, and commercial Linux? This really, really ticks me off." Apparently, Oracle announced that they will provide full enterprise support for Linux and so it competes with RH.

Funny, a better example is:
Red Hat Linux: $ 0/year
PostgreSQL: $ 0/year
Oracle: $0 for 30 days, must be licensed after by year
Red Hat cost for best Red Hat version and support: $2499/year
The best support possible for PostgreSQL: $22 500/year
Best support possible for Oracle Enterprise Edition, via Processor Perpetual licence: $44 888, one time fee
But those are just real prices, crazy, I know.
