Why not? it'll run just the same as on redhat, as CentOS is an exact copy of redhat.

Oracle it's only supported under Redhat Enterprise AS.<br />
I know that Centos is the same that RHEL, but oracle don't think the same.

We have currently installed kernel vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.ELsmp on a dell 2850 from a CD set we have successfully used on a recently purchased Dell 2950.<br />
We are testing different versions of Oracle for both application and databases and apparently are in unchartered waters. &nbsp;We are attempting to get this install up to the same version that we were able to get our original install to by having the Red Hat Network support. &nbsp;We do not have that support on this box and I have been unable to find the patch we need.<br />
We are looking to patch to vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.10.<br />
Can anyone guide me to a good source of patches?<br />
All advice will be greatly appreciated.<br />
Thank you.<br />

Need to find appropriate linux patch

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
