Interesting.  I'd use it for demonstrations and proofs of concept, but
not for an actual deployment.  While it is certainly *exactly* the same
code as what you would find in your garden-variety RHEL3, it's not going
to impress Oracle support, the folks at QLogic or Emulex, or most of the
other enterprise-level hardware and software vendors.  Names are
everything to those people, and even if it happens to be 100% binary the
same as the official RHEL3 (which I don't doubt for a minute), Oracle
support still won't listen to you.
