I believe there is no difference. The partnership probably came about because SuSE (the other Oracle darling) got to be very friendly with IBM.

I have tried both distros. RH using ext3 was 30% faster than SuSE using ReiserFS. Not a fair comparison, but there it is.

Look at this: http://otn.oracle.com/tech/linux/content.html

and it should be pretty clear which way Oracle is leaning ;-) Cheers,
