[News] Oracle May Fork Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Oracle Linux: Not... yet

,----[ Quote ]
| The excitement started on Monday when SAP exec Jeff Nolan announced on
| his blog that Oracle would be launching its own branded Linux based on
| Red Hat, presumably using the same compile-the-other-guy's-source-code
| approach as Red Hat cloner Centos.
| 
| [...]
| 
| To be sure, speculation about an Oracle Linux distro has an
| unimpeachable source. Larry Ellison himself told the Financial Times
| back in April he'd "like to have a complete stack". Red Hat's acquisition
| of open source Java app server JBoss ticked Larry off pretty badly. He
| wanted to buy it himself and reportedly offered something close to the
| $400+ million price Red Hat paid, but when JBoss founder Marc Fleuryf
| ound out Larry would be running the new company instead of him, he
| balked.
