The real point of Unbreakable Linux: breaking Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| As I look at the situation, it becomes ever clearer to me that
| Unbreakable Linux is really not a serious business operating system
| offering. It's simply Oracle's attempt to break Red Hat.
|
| While this will certainly put short-term pressure on Red Hat, I doubt
| it will do much more than that. Low prices are all well and good, but
| if Oracle doesn't back it up with service and support, no price will
| be low enough.
