Excuse me? Oracle is certified to run on SLES, and was certified before Red Hat. Recently, Oracles sales people have been pushing their CentOS clone (Unbreakable Linux) on Intel so that they can try to poach customers from Red Hat. Or failing that, they're pointing them to Red Hat in hopes they can convince them later on to switch. This has nothing to do with what is supported or certified. http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html (You have to click your way through far too many levels, but start with "View Certifications by Platform" and then "IBM Linux on System z (31 and 64 bit)".
