If you want RHEL, but are happy with a self-support approach, there is
always CentOS or Scientific Linux, which are RHEL rebuilds.
I use Scientific Linux to run some secondary servers at work as well as
in client roles both at home and work. (Still at SL 5.x however, so I
don't have any experience of the latest SL 6.x series yet).
I choose SL a number of years ago because I preferred the more formal
support system in place for it when compared to CentOS. SL also supplied
updates for a wider range of versions than CentOS did at the time (but
I don't know if that's still true or not).
Simon.
