I would look at it, but not sure if I would adopt it.
I've been very satisfied with the SuSE distro as my desktop.
RHEL 4 is running my 9i OEM stuff just fine.
I would be interested to see if the Oracle distro would
come with the compilers, java, gnu utils, etc. required
to install the Oracle products without massive patch getting or
downgrading (getting and backward installing gcc is annoying).
Also would it come default with the appropriate base kernel parameters
set? Or would it let you set them during install
How big of an SGA are you installing? <enter number>
Ok I'll auto set the kernel parameter yyyy to xxxx handle this.
and such.
To be the only distro I use, they'd be competing against SuSE for
desktop environment. If they can do it better and more seamlessly
with their tools, I'd consider it. I'm not married to software.
