I think Peter have already spent some time and read around agreement and so on. So the price is understandable. And really, everyone need to keep in mind that anyone can change their licence any time. If You ask personally me, Matti, I do not see point using oracleLinux if can use Rocky/fedora out of cost. Same as I do not see any point in using any derivative of Debian if you just can add additional repo and install missing package... CentOS was free of charge RedHat Flag. And now their banner/flag do not look so trustful in free area... I still would trust paid version, especially when there is no-cost licence. Also you can connect to RH sales and get real goood discounts. If you are a small business in small country. But free flag is in uncertain situation. And I have been working with UBK or how is shortened their unbreakable kernel... No good ;)) we managed to break it ;)) and recover DB. If you really want you always can just look at config file how kernel is made and rebuild it with your additions or exactly same in exact same place. Also take additional blobs and place them where you need... if needed. But you need to understand if that all you really need? Maybe you just need to shorten tcp.fin_wait to 1 sec ;) and it will work as a charm even with 2.6.18... with all unneeded options off, such as kernel modules, usb, sata123... You just need to: su -c 'echo "1" > /proc/enable/brain' Without this module either OS will work. And choosing OS is like choosing your partner, you need to understand, for how long you have same path and why your partner did that move, did partner prepared all that you would have all cases covered with new WoW...
