Cheapest way to get patches

Catfive LanderOct 3 2012 — edited Oct 3 2012
I am about to leave my employment, but I want to still be able to get patches for Oracle 11g on Linux at home.

I don't want to pay too much for it, though!

Am I correct to think that a single-year, 1 Named User Plus purchase of Oracle Personal Edition is the cheapest way to continue to get patches for Oracle-on-Linux, pretty much as I would in a commercial environment?

Secondary question: the Oracle Store lists that personal edition at (for example) $100 per Named User Plus but then adds on another $120 for "Cost of first year support". Am I right to think that next year I would only be charged $120 (or whatever it may have increased to by then)? In other words, if I pay $220 today, next year, I'll only have to pay the support component?
