Is Oracle Linux feasible for a desktop?
distribution choice;distros
Oracle Linux is based upon RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux). It can be used either as a server or as a desktop, as a compatible alternative to RHEL.As for a desktop, if you're looking for bleeding-edge packages (GNOME 3, recent versions of KDE, etc...), you will not find them in in Oracle Linux or any RHEL clone (CentOS, Scientific Linux etc...).
