I've been using Oracle Linux in production for several years, ever since 6.8 came out -- it was easier at my job (US Air Force contractor). I never had problems with an installation, I was never asked any annoying questions when downloading the ISO, and I'm using 7.9 on my backup server at home.

I might replace my home version, but only because I'm curious about other distributions, plus 7.9 would only fit on a double-sided DVD. (Yeah, I know all the cool kids use flash drives -- I'm old.)

G> But, maybe, it is an irrational fear...

An "irrational fear" of Oracle the company is a contradiction in terms.
