What is Oracle Enterprise Linux exactly?

j_DBA_souravJul 21 2014 — edited Oct 16 2014

Hello Community,

I am very fond of knowing what is OEL actually? What I know is:

1. The kernel which is compatible to RHEL and modified by Oracle own.

2. The required packages which are required by  Oracle products are preinstalled in OEL.

3. All the necessary updates and fixes are provided by Oracle rather than RHEL.

Please let me know if above all are true and also share other facts or OEL.

Another fact which I doubtfully know is, Oracle Linux (depending on licensing) contains Oracle Database software and all the prerequisites inside it..

Please share your thoughts and correct me if I am wrong.

Regards,

A.S
