Versione 7.3

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

Kernel Support with Oracle Linux 7 Update 3

The Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 ISO includes and installs two sets of kernel packages: Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) and Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK). The installation process configures the system to boot with UEK as the default kernel, and configures RHCK as an alternate kernel.

The Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 ISO contains the following kernel packages:

• kernel-uek-4.1.12-61.1.18.el7uek (UEK R4u2 +errata)
• kernel-3.10.0-514.el7

Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 continues to support, but does not ship with, the latest UEK R3u7 and later.

Application Compatibility

Oracle Linux maintains user space compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is independent of the kernel version that underlies the operating system. Existing applications in user space will continue to run unmodified on Oracle Linux 7 Update 3 with UEK R4 and no re-certifications are needed for applications already certified with RHEL 7 or Oracle Linux 7.

Notable in Oracle Linux 7 Update 3:

• UEFI Secure Boot Support – This update allows you to install and use Oracle Linux 7 on systems that have enabled UEFI Secure Boot, which is fully supported on Oracle Linux 7 Update 3.
