We Welcome and Appreciate Your Feedback

You are an important member of the Oracle Linux community. This release is generated based on your input and collaboration, and we value your feedback and participation in this Beta.

There are multiple ways to report your feedback:

  • If you are an existing customer or a partner, you are encouraged to contact Oracle Linux via the normal support channel available as part of your subscription.
  • Oracle Linux 6 includes a new automated error collection and reporting subsystem called "Automatic Bug Reporting Tool" (ABRT). ABRT allows for collecting error and exception conditions from sources ranging from kernel oops to application crashes and unhandled python exceptions. ABRT is used to report new issues and is capable of tracking issues that have been previously reported. For these reasons, Oracle Linux strongly encourages the use of ABRT in identifying and reporting issues. Please consult the Release Notes for ABRT usage instructions.
  • In addition to the above, you can also report issues directly to Oracle Linux's bug tracking system called Bugzilla web page. All issues, when reporting through Bugzilla, should reference the product name "Oracle Linux 6".

Thank you for choosing Oracle Linux. We look forward to your feedback on Oracle Linux 6.
