If there's one thing Oracle Linux has over CentOS, it's performance. If you're not looking to host cPanel, here's where the proverbial rubber meets the metaphorical road. Outside of the distaste for Oracle and the lack of cPanel support, is Oracle Linux a viable distribution? Performance and stability I still, however, haven't answered the only important question: That's a big hard pass for a lot of admins. To those looking for a distribution for cPanel, keep looking, as the hosting platform doesn't support Oracle Linux. Of course, not hating something is a far cry from actually recommending something.

The one caveat is that I had to install the kernel headers to get the Guest Additions to install which is done with the following command: sudo dnf install kernel-uek-devel-`uname -r` Oracle Linux ran really well as a virtual machine. I wanted to spit at the screen and shout, 'Traitor!' However, truth be told, I couldn't.

It had been some time since I kicked the tires of Oracle Linux, so I downloaded an ISO and spun up a virtual machine. To find our more about support costs, visit the Oracle Support site. Although Oracle Linux is free to use on as many machines as you like (for as long as you like), you'll have to pay for support. If I'm being honest in doling out my opinion, you probably shouldn't, but if you're desperate for a CentOS replacement, Oracle Linux is an option.

#CPANEL CENTOS 8 SOFTWARE#

Oracle buys the software and kicked it to the curb, hoping to drive users to Oracle DB. Oracle's failed management of OpenOffice led to LibreOffice. Oracle buys OpenOffice, but then offers zero patches, no timelines, no community communication, and the only attention given was to Fortune 500 contributors. In fact, Ellison has a long history of making offers to donate millions and then retracting said offers with little to no explanation. Larry Ellison describes Oracle as a profit-seeking corporation, not a peace-loving charity.

'There is no math that can justify open source from a cost perspective as the cost of support, plus the opportunity cost of forgoing features, functions, automation, and security overwhelm any presumed cost savings.' Then it followed up by saying to the US government: For example, back in 2017 Oracle joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Every time Oracle says or does something positive about or for open source, it's followed up by something negative.

Oracle and open source have always had a love/hate relationship-mostly hate. SEE: Kubernetes security guide (free PDF) (TechRepublic) The vitriol toward Oracle Let me explain, and then I'll get into why Oracle Linux is a viable choice. Why did I feel the need to make that clarification?

Before you protest, I didn't say you should turn to Oracle Linux I said you could.

What do you do? You could turn to Oracle Linux. Others, on the other hand, see Stream as an impossible option, due to cPanel pulling support, which is a very big deal. However, until then, where's a business to turn?Дo you go with CentOS 8 Stream? Some might. When those forks appear, the landscape will most likely shift. Some of these forks look seriously promising, even drop-in 1:1 binary compatibility with RHEL 8. The reaction has been so sharp, that many forks of CentOS have begun to pop up. Every day, someone is writing about what Red Hat did to the beloved Linux distribution that powers so many data centers and services.
