What is Oracle Linux?

Oracle Linux is a Linux distribution packaged and freely distributed by Oracle, available partially under the GNU General Public License since late 2006.

Oracle Linux, like CentOS and Scientific Linux, is a binary clone of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution. In this relationship, Red Hat is known as the upstream vendor. What does this mean? These groups download the RHEL source code, remove trademarks, compile it, create a distribution and allow you to downloads and use it for free. This is perfectly legal because the software that makes up this Linux distribution is covered by an assortment of open source software licenses, including GPL. Indeed, without these open source software licenses, RHEL would not exist as it is the reason Red Hat can legally create their distribution since they are not the originators of all of this code.

Oracle promotes Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel as having 100% compatibility with RHEL.

How much does Oracle Linux cost?

Nothing! It’s free!
Like CentOS and Scientific Linux, but unlike RHEL, Oracle Linux allows you to do the following for free:
