14 DAY TRIAL // Oracle, through Michele Casey, had the great pleasure of announcing the immediate availability for download of the Oracle Linux 6.7 computer operating system based on the freely available sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7.
According to the release announcement, the seventh maintenance release of Oracle Linux 6 is here to upgrade the kernel packages to Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) Release 3 (kernel-uek-3.8.13-68.3.4.el6uek) for 64-bit platforms, and Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) Release 2 (kernel-uek-2.6.39-400.250.7.el6uek) for 32-bit architectures.
Additionally, the Red Hat-compatible kernel package has been upgraded to kernel-2.6.32-573.el6 for both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware architectures. Users are reminded that the Oracle Linux 6.7 operating system boots the first Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel by default, but you can choose to boot with a different kernel whenever you want.
"We're happy to announce the general availability of Oracle Linux 6 Update 7, the seventh update release for Oracle Linux 6," says Michele Casey. "You can find the individual RPM packages on the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and our public yum repository and ISO installation images are available for download from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud."
