Tried to send this last week but it got bounced by the outage. The news is a week old, now, but it's still important:
Oracle has acquired Ksplice. This Oracle-owned Ksplice will support Oracle's Unbreakable Linux. And that's it. Choice quote: "Oracle believes it will be the only enterprise Linux provider that can offer zero downtime updates." To obtain the new Oracle-branded Ksplice service one must be an Oracle Premiere Support subscriber. Which starts at $500/year per node. The Ksplice subscription used to cost $4/mo per node ($48/year). --Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
