    ORACLE EXTENDS UNBREAKABLE LINUX PLATFORM TO INCLUDE 
                         UNITEDLINUX

 Oracle Intends to Provide Integrated Technical Support For 
                         UnitedLinux

     CeBIT Conference - HANNOVER, Germany, March 13, 2003 - 
Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL), the largest enterprise software 
vendor, today along with UnitedLinux, furthered its 
commitment to Linux for the enterprise, announcing that it 
intends to provide its customers with enterprise-level, 
seamless technical support for the operating systems powered 
by UnitedLinux, in addition to support for the Oracle 
products. With this announcement, Oracle extends its 
commitment to making an Unbreakable Linux platform available 
for customers worldwide.

     Continuing Oracle's vow to provide superior support and 
availability to its customers, the company is working 
closely with UnitedLinux founding members -- Connectiva 
S.A., The SCO Group, SuSE Linux AG, and Turbolinux -- to 
create a joint escalation team that can best service the 
entire Oracle stack running on UnitedLinux products. The 
support service will be available for customers who have an 
Oracle support contract for Oracle products and maintain an 
operating system support contract with any of the four 
UnitedLinux founding members. 

     "Collaborating with Oracle extends on the global reach 
that UnitedLinux has established via our founding members," 
said Paula Hunter, general manager, UnitedLinux LLC.  "With 
concurrent certification of our members' offerings and 
integrated global support, we expect this program will help 
ensure customer confidence in deploying Oracle solutions 
powered by UnitedLinux."

     Customers who have deployed Oracle products on hardware 
platforms that are certified with UnitedLinux will be able 
to receive technical support directly from Oracle Support 
Services, leading to faster resolution of critical issues.  
Oracle intends to identify technical support issues and fix 
them in collaboration with UnitedLinux, providing customers 
a single point of contact.   Customers can benefit from 
joint engineering efforts as Oracle and UnitedLinux 
collaborate to integrate required fixes/patches in future 
maintenance releases of UnitedLinux.

      "Oracle is proud to be the only enterprise software 
company to meet customer software needs by not only 
providing service and support for our own products, but also 
by extending our world class support to our customers' Linux 
operating environment," said Dave Dargo, vice president, 
Linux Program Office, Oracle Corp. "Together with 
UnitedLinux, we plan to provide front line support for 
Oracle customers to diagnose and fix Linux OS issues and 
provide the critical fixes they need in a timely manner. 
With this collaboration, we can offer another Unbreakable 
Linux platform that customers worldwide can safely deploy in 
their mission critical environments." 

     In February 2003, UnitedLinux completed certification 
of UnitedLinux Version 1.0 with both Oracle9i Database and 
its database clustering technology, Oracle9i Real 
Application Clusters.  

     Products powered by UnitedLinux 1.0 include Conectiva 
Linux Enterprise Edition from Conectiva S.A., SCO Linux 
Server 4.0 from The SCO Group, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 
8 from SuSE Linux AG, and Turbolinux Enterprise Server 8 
from Turbolinux.
