there is a pdf stating the differences between RHEL & OEL:
http://www.oracle.com/technologies/linux/el4cert-ds.pdf

oracle essentially changed the version numbering (more numbers) and changed
the artwork, but did patch some packages. these patches are released to the
linux community. also up2date is set to connect to oracle's site (and not
redhat's)

in version 4 update 7, the only difference between RH and Oracle is a kernel
patch for bonding ethernet devices and an intel firmware update in
kernel-utils.

see the pdf for a complete description of every version.
