Oracle Linux Enterprise 6.1 (x86/x64) | 3.3 GB
Oracle Enterprise Linux - Oracle Corporation initiative to create its own OS distribution based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This specialized distribution designed for installation on the database server. The distribution includes all critical to the Oracle database updates, fixes some bugs. The purpose of Oracle announced support for the cheaper end user's licensed under the GNU / GPL in the assembly for the x86 and x86_64.


As part of Oracle Linux 6.1 comes with two options packages Linux-kernel 2.6.32: a classic version of the company Red Hat (kernel-2.6.32-131.0.15.el6) and created by the Oracle kernel package (kernel-uek-2.6. 32-100.34.1.el6uek), available only for the platform x86_64. By default, the basic package includes two cores, but prepared in the Oracle kernel package is loaded by default. Ready-core binaries from the Oracle-compatible c RHEL 4 and 5, distributions and src.rpm-packs are on the site public-yum.oracle.com, there can also download and others present in the distribution packages. Oracle does not impose any restrictions on the supply of trained in the Oracle kernel to third-party products.

Distribution of the differences between Oracle Linux 6.1 on RHEL 6.1 update notes and drivers to add support for Infiniband-adapters QLogic IB. In the assembly, Linux-kernel from Oracle improved balancing IRQ, reduced the number of competing locks, used to optimize I / O performance.

For general differences between Oracle Linux 6.x series of RHEL 6.x can be found here. Among the key features of the Oracle Linux 6 (many of these features, despite the statement by Oracle, are present in RHEL 6): support for remote method of direct memory access OFED (OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution); support clustered file system OCFS2 1.6; integration framework to ensure data integrity DIF / DIX (Linux data integrity framework); support tickless-mode core, support groups, monitor the implementation of tasks (Task Control Groups - TCG or cgroups); use subsystem Performance Counters; automatic adaptive tuning of SSD-drives, the ability to bind the input handler / O to specific processor cores (IO affinity); transparent load-balancing technology to process incoming network traffic on the existing system CPU; support system call fallocate
