Ah, but Oracle offering their own distribution and support will
be a good thing. Why with Oracle's resources they will be
able to close bugs with the status "upstream" in mere days

So what are the benefits of going with Oracle Enterprise Linux? At the moment, considering the weirdness we've had already with the bootloader screen, the applications menu and the Mozilla disappearing act, we'd strongly recommend waiting a few months to let Oracle iron out these bugs.

Redhat's not that bad with bugs anyway, not in my experience at least...
