History
Larry Ellison co-founded Oracle Corporation in 1977 with Bob Miner and Ed Oates under the name Software Development Laboratories. Ellison took inspiration from a paper written by Edgar F . Codd in 1970 on relational database management systems named "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks." He heard about the IBM System R database from an article in the IBM Research Journal provided by Oates. Ellison wanted to make Oracle's product compatible with System R, but failed to do so as IBM kept the error codes for their DBMS a secret. SDL changed its name to Relational Software, Inc in 1979, then again to Oracle Systems Corporation in 1983 to align itself more closely with its flagship product Oracle Database. At this stage Bob Miner served as the company's senior programmer. On March 12, 1986, the company had its initial public offering.In 1995, Oracle Systems Corporation changed its name to Oracle Corporation, officially named Oracle, but sometimes referred to as Oracle Corporation, the name of the holding company. Part of Oracle Corporation's early success arose from using the C programming language to implement its products as this eased porting to different operating systems most of which support C.

Oracle Linux
Oracle Linux is a Linux distribution packaged and freely distributed by Oracle. It is designed for enterprise use and offers several features tailored to meet the needs of modern IT environments. Oracle Linux is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It is a binary-compatible clone of RHEL, which means that it is designed to be compatible with RHEL at the binary level, allowing applications and software that run on RHEL to also run on Oracle Linux without modification.
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is optimized for Oracle software provifing extra security and stability. The package, ksplice, is used to apply security updates without rebooting. Other security advancments include SELinux and secure boot.
As with most enterprise linux distributions, it includes Oracle Linux support, which offers '24/7' support (which you have to pay for) with security updates and bug fixes.
The Oracle Cloud servies are deeply integrated, so you can easily deploy and manage cloud-based applications.
For the average Gnu/Linux enjoyer, you will never share a breath with this bloated monstrosity of enterprise-grade bloatware.
