Oracle Linux is freely downloadable and RHEL-compatible like Rocky or AlmaLinux, but with a difference: it's backed by a large commercial vendor (Oracle) that also sells paid support contracts and ships an alternative 'Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel' (UEK) alongside the standard RHEL-compatible kernel, tuned for Oracle's own database and cloud workloads. It's the reference platform for running Oracle Database and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure images, and Oracle offers a genuinely free support tier for the base OS itself (unlike Red Hat's model), monetizing instead through premium support and its wider software stack. Choosing it over Rocky/AlmaLinux usually comes down to running Oracle's own software or wanting a single-vendor commercial support option.

MirrorNest no aloja las imágenes ISO de las distribuciones — el medio de instalación siempre debe descargarse directamente desde la página oficial del proyecto (enlazada arriba), para obtener la suma de verificación/firma correcta con la que comprobarlo.
