Oracle has published a distribution kit Oracle Linux 10.1, based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.1 and fully binary compatible with it. Installation iso images of size 10 GB and 1.3 GB are available for unlimited downloads for x86_64 and ARM64 (aarch64) architectures. Unlimited and free access to the yum repository with binary package updates for Oracle Linux 10 is also open, offering fixes for errors and security issues. Repositories with Application Stream and CodeReady Builder packages can be downloaded separately.
Oracle Linux offers its own kernel, Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 8.1 (UEK 8U1), in addition to the RHEL kernel. The UEK 8U1 kernel update includes the enabled SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT option by default and backported drivers from kernel 6.15. Kernel sources, including individual patches, are available in the public Git repository Oracle. The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is installed as an alternative to the standard RHEL kernel package, providing features like DTrace integration and improved Btrfs support. The functionality of Oracle Linux 10.1 is identical to RHEL 10.1, with more details in the RHEL 10.1 announcement.
