Jefferies: Oracle Close to Entering Linux Market, Challenging Red Hat

If this is true, we could hear about it within the month: “We have heard that Ubuntu is currently working to certify its recently introduced server OS to all [of] Oracleâ€™s major products, including databases and middleware.”

Woohoo! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the convicted and courageous Oracle-Ubuntu combination crushes the evil Red Hat challenge.

Oracle is more than whelcome to join, but they do have a lot more to prove. Oracle might talk the talk, but RedHat walkes the walk.

RedHat has been working hard on making as much as possible open for everyone. They are the largest player in the market that have realy focused on the openness and they have delivered again and again.

There are many examples for technologies and programs that has been freed by RedHat.
