Red Hat Gets a Jump on Oracle Clustering Support

Red Hat announced at the OracleWorld conference that it will make Oracle Cluster File System available to its enterprise customers, leaving UnitedLinux's distribution to play catch-up.

Wim Coekaerts, principal member of Oracle's technical staff and its Linux specialist, acknowledged that the first UnitedLinux distribution will not have Oracle Cluster File System functionality but said Oracle is working with UnitedLinux to develop it.
