Indeed. I ran into this a year or two back while Oracle was just moving to
linux.
Basically they have said "we support this glibc, this kernel, this rpm". So by
saying we "support Red Hat" they are really saying we "support Red Hat X.Y".
Be sure to have exactly what they say you need.
Proprietary software just sucks that way.
