Did you know that Oracle makes its own Linux distro? I didn't...

>>59756231
does it come with preinstalled java?

>>59756231
this is average /g/ user. did you also know oracle makes their own database management system?

>>59756952
the more you know

>>59756804
It is entirely Java. The Kernel was rewritten entirely in Java, and the distro runs entirely in a JRE.

>>59756231
How much they charge for it?

I wouldd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I bet it comes with the Ask Toolbar and McAfee Security Scanner as well.
Never mind, they will probably require an Oracle account to download.

It's a glorified RHEL with some kernel tweaks.
Literally useless just like their other OS.

>>59756231
it's a shitty for of rhel that they struggle to keep maintained

>>59756231
Didn't you know they are making their own file system and it's fucking awesome?

BTRFS

Damn plebs.

I'm terribly sorry for interjecting another moment, but what I just told you is GNU/Linux is, in fact, just Linux, or as I've just now taken to calling it, Just Linux. Linux apparently does happen to be a whole operating system unto itself and comprises a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Most computer users who run the entire Linux operating system every day already realize it. Through a peculiar turn of events, I was misled into calling the system "GNU/Linux", and until now, I was unaware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux project.

There really isn't a GNU/Linux, and I really wasn't using it; it is an extraneous misrepresentation of the system that's being used. Linux is the operating system: the entire system made useful by its included corelibs, shell utilities, and other vital system components. The kernel is already an integral part of the Linux operating system, never confined useless by itself; it functions coherently within the context of the complete Linux operating system. Linux is never used in combination with GNU accessories: the whole system is basically Linux without any GNU added, or Just Linux. All the so-called "GNU/Linux" distributions are really distributions of Linux.

>>59756981
So, if the kernel is written in Java, is it still Linux?

>>59756231

Google does too, or used to in 2012 *shrug*. It's basically modifications to Ubuntu - 'Goobuntu' I think.

I used to have a job where literally all I did was follow/copy-paste instructions from a wiki for the purposes of installing and configuring Oracle Enterprise Linux. 8 hours a day, that's the only thing I did. I automated the process within the first week but got yelled at so I had to go back to the normal error prone configuration server by server.

You got trolled hard anon.

This. It's Oracle's way of locking you into their licensing, but they advertise it as "simplifying" your licensing. Instead of going through oracle for the DB and rhel for the OS, you go through oracle for all costs.

Seriously though oracle support is the worst I've ever experienced in my life, why would anyone subject themselves to this..

>>59757106
You guys are dumb. It's literally just a rebranded RHEL.

>>59761955
No, it's Java.
