William, Oracle changed the Oracle Linux support structure in March this year. Quoting the Senior VP of Linux and Virtualization Engineering, "The nice thing is, if you want a complete up to date system without support, use this, if you then need support, get a support subscription. Simple, convenient, effective."

Installing > Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is as simple as upgrading a I'd thought of that in the past but was wondering how easy it would be to get patches etc for it without an Unbreakable Linux sub. My impression was that Oracle were like RedHat in this respect. You can get the code but they don't go out of their way to make it easy to do so without paying them...
