I suspect he meant OEL5U3, which is analogous to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, the latest shipping version.

And if you have a big Red Hat Linux install base, there's no advantage to adding OEL to the mix, especially if you have some good negotiated corporate rate for RHEL.

Most of the folks I see moving to OEL are either: - shops that are new to Linux, and starting with Oracle on Linux - shops where the database organization has to "pay" internally for every RHEL license, and go to OEL instead for a cheaper solution.

But there's not any advantages fundamentally if it's a zero-cost decision between the two.
