Oracle has spun a new version of RHEL called Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, claimed to be more than 75 percent faster at OLTP tasks. The Oracle-optimized Linux kernel was announced at Oracle World, which also debuted Oracle Fusion Applications, MySQL 5.5, new Java enhancements, and a Linux-ready Exalogic Elastic Cloud. Oracle continues to resell Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) in the form of its own RHEL-based Oracle Linux, which has been previously called Unbreakable Linux. Oracle Linux will still be supported, but the similarly RHEL-based Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is now "the only Linux kernel Oracle recommends for use with Oracle software," says the software giant.

why don't they try fixing oracle rac first. why can't you bring down an interconnect interface on one of the nodes of an oracle rac without the whole thing crashing down.

I will never recommend oracle. Their support stinks along with their products.

I hope somebody is auditing their kernel and making sure they are not violating the GPL.
