Oracle于2011年1月20日发布了Oracle Linux 5.6，提供免费下载、安装和使用。此版本默认安装Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel，并包含来自RHEL源代码构建的Red Hat兼容内核及Oracle提供的关键错误修复。

On Thursday 20 January 2011, Oracle Linux 5.6 was released on the Unbreakable Linux Network for customers with an Oracle Linux support subscription. Today we published the installation DVD images on edelivery.oracle.com/linux. As always, Oracle Linux 5.6 is free to download, install and use. The release notes are here, but I wanted to highlight a few items about this release.

Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel

Oracle Linux 5.6 makes Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel the default kernel after installation unless you perform a custom installation. Note that Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is available for the x86_64 platform only. Yesterday, Chris Mason, our Director of Linux Engineering delivered a webcast on the performance improvements we made to this kernel. I highly recommend you watch the replay.

[root@localhost ~]# uname -r
2.6.32-100.26.2.el5
[root@localhost ~]#

The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is delivered via the package kernel-uek:

[root@localhost ~]# yum info kernel-uek
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security

           : of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device
           : input and output, etc.

Red Hat compatible kernel

Oracle Linux 5.6 also includes a Red Hat compatible kernel built directly from RHEL source. It's already installed, so booting it is a matter of editing /etc/grub.conf

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel-2.6.18
kernel-2.6.18-238.el5

Red Hat compatible kernel with bug fixes by Oracle

Finally, Oracle Linux 5.6 includes the Red Hat compatible kernel with critical bug fixes from Oracle. You can review the patches here. This kernel can be install directly from the DVD or from ULN if you're an Oracle Linux support customer.

Yum access to Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN)

Also new in this release is yum support for Unbreakable Linux Network.
