Oracle CEO May Launch Own Linux Version

By

Oracle Corp. is considering launching its own Linux operating system and has looked at buying one of the main suppliers of open-source technology, Chief Executive Larry Ellison told a newspaper on Monday. Any guesses on who they are looking at buying? If you have an idea shoot me an e-mail!

Ellison told the Financial Times Oracle wanted to sell a full range of software that included both the operating system and applications, or what is known in the industry as a complete “software stack.” “I’d like to have a complete stack,” Ellison said in the interview. “We’re missing an operating system. You could argue that it makes a lot of sense for us to look at distributing and supporting Linux.”
