I had recommended RHEL just because its the "gold standard" for all RHEL-derived distros. CentOS and a few others *should* be identical. However, I don't think Oracle is. Doesn't Oracle make some changes to optimize it for running Oracle? I'm not sure of that, which is why I'm asking and not stating. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
