Marc Fleury on Oracle Linux

Raven Zachary, August 28, 2006 @ 7:21 pm ET

Marc 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. ;)
