        Other distributions are more robust while still being gratis and still contain the same core that RHEL would. You can concentrate more on Oracle and less on where Redhat or it's cloners might not have gotten something right. This might also put you in a better position to evaluate Suse's enterprise edition too, and not just donate business to Redhat.
