Oracle has their own distro???   [sigh]
I suppose it was going to happen eventually.

I recommended to my former employer that they NOT make
their own distro.  (Their reasons for not doing so presently
do not come from me, nor from any technology supporting motives.)
Thankfully, they do not have one.

I have feared the day when IBM would have a Linux distro.
Since they foray into Linux on the mainframe, they have held
restraint.  Clearly it has worked to their advantage.
Oracle's business and motives are different.
