This is not a spacewalk related subject but I will answer it any way.
Indemification‎! 
In other words if your business has any SOX or ‎PCI requirements and you use oracle linux you need to pay them for support for the required servers.
‎The reason is that unless you can reasonably prove that you employ  developers for every package on all of the boxes that fall under those  requirements then you must pay for support. To fully understand the reasons for this you need to understand what a lot of purposely vague legal phrases actually mean, but in short it means you need proof you pay some one to ensure you're operating system is secure and if a new vulnerability is doscovered at your company then you can get some one qualified to fix it in a resonable amount of time.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] FW: What does ULN gives you that standard oracle public yum doesn't

Hi guys,

 

The question I was trying to answer configuring spacewalk is:

 

What does Oracle ULN gives you that standard oracle public yum doesn't?

 

Except DTrace and ASMLib which are rarely used in general case scenario, what are other ULN advantages before public yum?

 

Regards,

Dmitry
