Oracle Enterprise Linux Links

This SIG is dedicated to Oracle software running on all flavors of Linux, but on October 29, Elena Zannoni from Oracle did a webinar outlining some information on Oracle's release schedules and testing.  As part of that presentation, Elena listed several URL's with further information.

Open source software is now part of doing business for a majority of Oracle enterprise database sites. A new survey out of the Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) finds that 60 percent of database sites now use open source operating systems in their operations. Another 56 percent are running an open source application server or framework, and 37 percent are also running at least one of the major brands of open source databases along with their Oracle implementation.

The Linux SIG is dedicated to both facilitating and promoting the use of the Oracle database and other Oracle technology on the Linux platform. The Linux SIG provides a forum of open discussion and education of Oracle related issues associated with using Linux in conjunction with an Oracle database. We recognize that using Linux in conjunction with Oracle provides additional and different challenges to the administration of an Oracle database.

The Linux SIG provides a mechanism for sharing our collective expertise in the implementation of Oracle on Linux and a collective voice to advocate for Oracle Corporation to continue its initiative toward making Linux a strategic platform for all of its products.
