I believe that Oracle has decided that when porting to
linux all products will be ported to SuSE and then
perform post release certifications on Redhat. I
believe stability and support of multiple Linux
distributions was a factor in this decision. I run
both Redhat and SuSE and I actually perfer SuSE. SuSE
has a lot of packages it distributes with there
product. The only thing is the SuSE wont create ISO
images for download and Redhat will.
