[sllug-members]: Oracle's Unbreakable Linux

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

Some of you may have heard the announcement earlier this week by
Oracle that they now provide their own supported distribution of
GNU/Linux called ``Unbreakable Linux''.

According to yesterday's Salt Lake Tribune, Red Hat's stock fell 25%
after the Oracle announcement.

eWEEK online has 17 screen shots from an installation of the Oracle
distribution here:
