In his post on Oracle Linux components Wim Coekaerts explains his opinion of Oracle Linux as "... the best enterprise Linux solution available." In large part, he attributes this excellence to the over 100,000 hours of QA testing that have already been conducted on Oracle Linux. Coekaerts contends that both the excellence (and the ease of use by customers) of the Oracle support program further ensure confidence in Oracle Linux. According to Coekaerts, the focus at Oracle on Linux is twofold: enhancing Linux to run Oracle products and making Linux a better OS.

Companies that are building appliances with some Linux distro as the embedded OS can do better, argues Wim Coekaerts, than rely on community-based and/or community-maintained versions or even those commercial Linux distros that come with distribution and access restrictions. The alternative, Coekaerts suggests, is Oracle Enterprise Linux. Customers have complete access to the code and are able to use Oracle Enterprise Linux as they choose, without contract restrictions, nor even any license or activation key. This is one distro that can manage across all the use cases, says Coekaerts.
