They are definitely building on RH. My impression was they were
building their own clone, a la White Box or CentOS. I thought the bit
about pointing your RHN to their servers ("To get Oracle support for
Red Hat Linux all you have to do is point your Red Hat server to the
Oracle network.") instead of RH's was for folks who have RH now and
want to switch. So do you buy RHEL, then switch or is there aome way
to start new with just Oracle?
