Companies that are building appliances with some Linux distro as the embedded OS can do better, argues Wim Coekaerts, than rely on community-based and/or community-maintained versions or even those commercial Linux distros that come with distribution and access restrictions. The alternative, Coekaerts suggests, is Oracle Enterprise Linux. Customers have complete access to the code and are able to use Oracle Enterprise Linux as they choose, without contract restrictions, nor even any license or activation key. This is one distro that can manage across all the use cases, says Coekaerts.
