Oracle Linux 7 Makes Its Debut
Found on eWEEK on Thursday, 24 July 2014
As Oracle Linux 7 is based on RHEL 7, it inherits many of the same new features, though Oracle is not simply cloning RHEL and putting the company's name on it.
Full compiled versions of Oracle Linux 7 are available to anyone to use as they please and do not require that organizations pay Oracle anything to use, he said.
Larry is pretty bold there, taking the OS from Redhat and slapping a different name onto it to lure people in. CentOS already offers a free version, but at least they tell users to go to Redhat if they need paid support.
