someone just pointed out to me that there is a distro called "oracle enterprise linux" which is effectively a re-branded RHEL, so i'm curious -- has anyone here used both centos and OEL and would there be any differences that would be worth caring about?
the only thing i can think of that might be worthwhile is that OEL might change some of the default kernel parms thru /etc/sysctl.conf that make that distro more appropriate for running large oracle databases. beyond that, i have no idea.
thoughts?
Price ?
OEL 5.4 is freely downloadable so i'm guessing that's not it.
