I'm assuming you mean OL or Oracle Linux here? If so, combining both RHEL and 
OL into a single Spacewalk instance is easy, but it'll prevent you from getting 
support from one of the vendors, I suspect. For example, if you have an 
existing Spacewalk 2.2 instance installed from the Spacewalk repos, it supports 
updating from both the Oracle Unbreakable Linux Network as well as the 
public-yum.oracle.com repositories. However, you can't get support from Oracle 
for it.

Likewise, if you were to use Spacewalk 2.0 provided by Oracle, you'd get 
support from Oracle for the server and any Oracle Linux clients you have 
connected to it, but we wouldn't support RHEL clients.

Therefore, you just need to pick which scenario you prefer. 

Though, I didn't think you could connect Spacewalk directly to RHN for updates. 
Doesn't that require a Satellite subscription? If so, you would be running 
Satellite, not Spacewalk. And you'd get support from Red Hat for the Satellite 
deployment. You can still sync the Oracle Linux public-yum.oracle.com repos 
into Satellite, but there is no ULN integration. I'd be happy to send you the 
ULN integration script, but I'm not sure what that would do for your support 
with Red Hat. :)

Cheers,
Avi
