Added to what Tim mentioned in most places that I have used rhel we tended to wait for a couple of updates to the OS before deciding on rolling it out to prod.

Hi.

I just checked the certification search on MOS and currently neither RHEL6 or OL6 are supported for 11.2.0.2 x86-64. Even though I'm sure certification is only round the corner, I prefer not to use an OS that is not in the certification matrix for anything important.

Cheers

Tim...
