Oracle Linux 8 Release Information

Important: Update releases such as Oracle Linux 8.1 or Oracle Linux 8 Update 1, are rolling snapshots of the latest supported packages for the Oracle Linux release and are not considered independent versions of Oracle Linux. Do not attempt to pin an Oracle Linux system to a particular update release. Always update systems to the most recent update release of the operating system. Failure to do so exposes your systems to common security vulnerabilities and other software bugs.
