What's the current difference between RHEL and Oracle Linux? Our institution used to be an RHEL shop, but switched to OL -- I just assumed that RHEL was historical at this point.
[edit -- thanks for the answers. I realize now that my memory failed me... I mis-remembered that Oracle bought RedHat, not IBM.]
Oracle Linux is RHEL... just with the Red Hat branding replaced by Oracle branding. I guess there are some other differences as well but that's the gist of it.
It's mostly for Oracle products and has the oracle yum repositories preconfigured iirc. So their database products can be installed out of the box.
But RHEL is considered the industry standard when it comes to corporate Linux distributions.
