Not that we at CentOS mind, however the "Unbreakable Linux" contains several CentOS patches as well.

The up2date contains the CentOS color change patch, and the redhat-artwork still has the centos4 name in the SRPM.

I wish Oracle would give us some credit though.

hughesjr, given all the problems that reviewers have found with "Unbreakable Linux", you're better off if people don't know that it's based on CentOS. You don't want to get blamed for Oracle's mistakes. :)

well ... it seems to get any updates you have to have a ULN (Unbreakable Linux Network) subscription.

also, the kernel names are not the same, so 3rd party drive discs won't work.

Not sure what other issues there might be.
