It was another small step forward for Oracle Enterprise Linux this week as a handful of ISVs pledged support, but it's still a long road ahead for the Red Hat clone. Says searchenterpriselinux, "The news came a day after Oracle announced that a handful of other hardware ISVs had also pledged to support its brand of Linux. For Tony Iams, a senior analyst with Rye Brooke, N.Y.-based Ideas International Ltd., the news was indicative of an upward trend for the company's Linux distribution, which was launched in October."

I was coming back from the mountains a few days ago and hitched a ride on a auto rickshaw with a newly wed couple. The couple happened to work in Bangalore, the groom works for Oracle in the sales department. Naturally we got into geek talk. He told me that Oracles got no money left in the bank, that all their acquisitions have gotta start turning profits or else Oracles f--ked. So he says. I asked him about the new Oracle distro and he said its actually very good, much better than RH Enterprise. Genuinely better - not just saying that because he works for'em. To install, setup, tune, etc... Oracle on RH would take a couple of days, where as it would only take a couple of hours to get up and running on their own distro. Uhh thats all I got.
