Re: [CentOS] Oracle UEK kernel on CentOS

Hello CentOS Guys,

What do you think about the Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel?

Since Release 2 of the UEK Kernel, all updates are available free of charge > http://public-yum.oracle.com/

My questions: Does the Oracle UEK kernel really perform better than the default centos kernel? Technical advantages and disadvantages?

Would you use the Oracle UEK Kernel on centos?

Do you understand what OUL is, a modified version of RHEL? And no, I have grave doubts you could use that kernel with the standard repositories for CentOS: I'd give you a 95% confidence that trying to update most things would give you tons of unsatisfied dependencies.
