not a cat in hell's chance unless pushed in the way Jared describes. Oracle
can concentrate on making an even better database and a tolerable fist of
merging and improving their application products first, before they start
thinking they are an OS company as well.

It's called core competencies in my view.

On the other hand people seem quite prepared to throw, to pick an example
entirely not a random, tested proven clustering filesystems out of the
window in order to run a pretty much brand new one from that well known
filesystem company Oracle.

So who on list here would find it a good thing if Larry puts out
an Oracle distro? Would that mean yet another Linux distro to
support, or would that replace the only distro you use more or less?
