An important feature of note for having at least one of your little servers
as at least network support level (that's the one that was $99USD a year
when initially released and now is $119USD with inflation to date as of the
last time I renewed it) is the "up2date" feature, which specifically keeps
you abreast of the patches and rpm updates that Oracle thinks you should
have for the purpose of running Oracle technology plus any
security/bugfixes, etc. for the rest of what you decide to install and
register back with Oracle. Please see Oracle's official stuff online for the
exact details and take what I've written here as extreme approximation and
shorthand not for legal reliance.
Even if you are happily a Redhat support shop, getting up2date notification
for one server is a value not to be ignored.

Here's the document that lists the OEL support options:
http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/ubl-faq.pdf
Cost is anywhere from $119 to $2,299 per system depending on the support
level and number of CPUs.

Actually, I think the Oracle support cost is a LOT less than Red Hat, which
is why they got a lot of initial traction with this Linux offering. I think
there was some option that was only $99 a year, but I don't remember the
details.

Running Grid Control on OEL 4 update 4(64 bit) for over a year without
issue. Only time we've had to shut it down was when they redid the power in
the data center. As noted, it's RedHat with the Oracle logo. I think the
biggest question might be related to the support one gets from Oracle vs.
RedHat. I believe the Oracle support price is a little less than RedHat's.
