Oracle ports Yast to its Linux distribution

Oracle announced that it has ported Yast, the setup tool originally found in SuSe's distribution, to its own linux distribution based on and compatible RedHat Enterprise Linux.

As Linuxworld is currently going on, they also announced several other initiative, such as the release under GPL of the Oracle Linux Test Kit used to validate a kernel to run an Oracle database server, or the release of an alpha version of the BTRFS file system.
