We are considering a migration from Windows to Linux for our databases and

survey on which vendor is most popular. I would appreciate you taking the
survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/8JPD3ZZ
One thing I note in your survey is the lack of geographic context.
RedHat and clones are popular in North America. SuSE more so in
Europe. Asia has it's AsiaLinux ...
In North America I am finding more and more curiosity about OEL, with
more organizations biting the 'lower cost for OEL support' and 'one
throat to choke' hooks. Since 'generic kernel' is the same source as
RHEL, not much risk involved, and Oracle does have pretty competent
Linux staff as well as kernel maintainers.
With the OracleVM CPU 'partitioning' and ability to configure and
therefore license by CPUs in use rather than CPUs on board, OEL seems to
also come into the discussion.
