Would you prefer to get linux support from Red Hat or from oracle?

Oracle just clones red hat ... plus offers apparently bug fixes to older version of Red Hat.

Then the marketing stuff begins along with oracle offering a lower price for support than Red Hat.

Oracle claims their VM is 3 times as fast as anything else. Sounds pretty fishy to many of us. Received on Wed Nov 28 2007 - 13:56:37 CST
