Linux can and always be found for free legally. Don't forget it's also free
as in free speech. You are paying for RedHat enhancements to the GNU/Linux
operating system, which aren't free (in at least one sense of the word,
maybe both). I use Gentoo, which is made by a non-profit corp so it's free.
Debian is also free. Slackware is also free. Fedora is also free, and made
by RedHat. It's the continuation of the old free RedHat.
The moral of the story- stay away from RedHat :P
(I don't really have anything against RedHat. I just hate using their OS.)
