Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Linux

It's relatively simple for use by all the IT department. It is pretty easy to get things done with it, but it’s not that exciting to use at all. Very useful user controls that can make it practical and helpful for getting your work done. It's useful for the professional work setting, for sure.
  • It is good for emails and correspondence servers
  • The software is very helpful, and I like the cloud-centered interface that improves the interconnectivity of it
  • Databases (Oracle of course!!) servers, virtual and RAC configs.
  • It's often very slow to use
  • Very displeasing aesthetics for the graphical interface appearance
  • More compatibility with other vendors
  • Would be buyers may want to look at Red Hat Enterprise Linux instead. It offers the same features and greater levels of compatibility with other applications.
  • If you run Oracle I highly recommend going Linux. It is much more stable. And if you do make the jump make it Oracle Linux as all the extra what-not will be included without all the fuss.
I selecteOraclele Linux for its compatibility with Oracle DB, nothing more.
Perfect for:
  • Database servers, Oracle overall.
  • Mail servers (in my experience)
Not recommended for:
  • Main desktop
  • Monitoring server
