Marc Fleury on Oracle Linux
Raven Zachary, August 28, 2006 @ 7:21 pm ETMarc Fleury, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the JBoss division of Red Hat (formerly CEO of JBoss, Inc.), has posted a blog entry, “Wall Street, Oracle and Game Theory,” about the viability of Oracle Linux. It’s a bit more detailed than what I’d expect from an SVP of a public company regarding potential competition, but it’s a good read. I think Marc overstates the complexities of Oracle doing a new distribution, but his comments on the demand for Oracle Linux are interesting (backed up by a “study” – I’d like to get the source).
“Does ANYONE REALLY WANT ANOTHER LINUX DISTRIBUTION? Please raise your hands.” – Marc Fleury
Marc – go check out Ubuntu. I know that your Red Hat colleagues are.
