Chris Kawalek has announced the availability of the release candidate for Oracle Linux 7, a distribution rebuilt from source code of the recently released Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7: "It's an exciting day for the Oracle Linux team because the Oracle Linux 7 release candidate is now available for download from Oracle Technology Network." Although the release announcement doesn't contain any information about the release, the Oracle Linux 7 download page tell us about the Linux kernel used in the release: "The early development builds of Oracle Linux 7 are provided for testing purpose only. Oracle Linux 7 includes two kernels: the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 3 Update 2 (default kernel); the Red Hat compatible kernel." The earlier Oracle Linux 7 beta release notes, published in April 2014, cover the product in some details, but they have yet to be updated to include information about this release candidate. Interested testers should head for this page to register and account and to download the "Server" edition of the distribution. |
