Oracle to distribute Red Hat?
-Martin LaMonica
Larry Ellison has stirred up the Linux market again, sparking speculation Oracle may start shipping a cut-price version of Red Hat.
Comments by Oracle chief executive Larry Ellison have sparked speculation across Wall Street that the database giant could become a Red Hat distributor.
In an interview with Forbes published last Thursday, Ellison reiterated statements made to the Financial Times in April, when he said that Oracle should distribute and support a full "stack" of software, including Red Hat Linux, the dominant Linux distribution to businesses.
Those comments did more than just fuel a great deal of online chatter and speculation; they also sank the stock of Novell, Red Hat's largest Linux competitor.
