So you will have to ask Red Hat what they are specifying, but I read it as the .x meaning 6.5 and later

6.5 - 6.6 - 6.7 - 6.8 -->

if it was written as 6.x - 6.5 I would read it as 6.5 and earlier

Hello Jimmy,

It seems you are right on that info. Could you please help me with the HP server compatible with RHEL 6.2 ? since my client has RHEL6.2 + oracle application so need to suggest him compatible HP server.

If they must stick with v6.2 the only choice would be to run it as a virtual machine. RHEL EUS support for v6.2 ended in 2014
