Red Hat

Red Hat licensing on RHEL subscriptions, cores, virtualization, and stay versus third-party support. Posts here treat the subscription as the object, not a generic Linux distro tour. A hypervisor guest still counts against the cores you bought.

Linux and Open Source Software hold the broader OS and license-model files. Oracle Linux is a separate Oracle SKU. Use this category when the vendor is Red Hat, Satellite, or the RHEL commercial overlay.
