Thank you Ramnode/Nick - KVM VPS Oracle Linux 6.3 2.6.39 !
Thought I'd post a very appreciative thank you to Nick at Ramnode.
Ramnode is the only VPS/Cloud web host so far that has acted on my request for Oracle Linux 6.3 based ISO templates to be added (Nick added them within 24hrs ! ) so I can take advantage of more updated packages and improvements that Oracle's UEK 2.6.3.9 kernel has (based on 3.0.16 mainline kernel) .

Wow, thank you! Enjoy your VPS.
Awesome, RamNode are great, you can't go wrong with them. But if that's the only provider that can add a KVM ISO in for you within 24 hours I suggest you take a look at what providers you're with.. ;p
thanks for using LET as your personal blog
have a nice day
I'm having a chicken sandwich.
I'm having a turkey sandwich. We're enemies now.
I want to take a nap.
@jarland Chicken, good man!
No licensing issues with provide this ISO without signing up with Oracle? I refuse to believe that Oracles definition of 'free' is the same as everyone else. Although throw in Ksplice for 'free' and I'll sign whatever deal with the devil I need to
You're the only person who has a problem with the thread.

I have an excuse. Stupid internet keeps going up and down. Can't get anything of value accomplished.
Really dude? ...
You're going to have to give me more information than that. Is it fried, baked, grilled? Any type of sauce on it?
C'mon @jarland. What's wrong with you?
More like what's going to be wrong with this cable modem if it keeps acting up.
"I don't know what happened but it looks like it removed itself from the IT closet and then somehow ended up under my tire."
In Oracle we trust
Now if they could just throw Ksplice in.
have a nice day
Get a sex life, you chippy bastard.
Well Oracle provides other free software too. MySQL and Java for instance. When was the last time you worried about MySQL not being free to download? MySQL is used as the DBMS by most websites on the net.
Also you don't have to sign up to download oracle linux. Just refer to the mirror list:

I am eating a chocolate croissant.
Good morning guys.
I have a fever and my throat is sore
@jcaleb
I think I can beat you.
-sore throat.
-ear infection.
-throat infection.
@Cirium nice. What remedy do you take?
Bourbon whiskey + honey + lemon
I think it may work :P
Ontopic, this Oracle Linux is a CentOS based distro right?
It's a Red Hat Enterprise Linux based distribution to be more correct. CentOS is based off Red Hat too.
Oh, it DOES work. Every time.
when Oracle killed the free version of Solaris (Open Solaris) or when it announced it would stop developing OpenOffice maybe?
LOL you off topic folks are funny
Yup Oracle Linux is free and based off of RHEL and as such works exactly same as RHEL and CentOS just with more updated kernel, packages and tweaks here and there.
Thanks Nick
