Oracle's Unbreakable Linux is one less expensive alternative to Red Hat Linux, but there are some users within the Linux community who prescribe a different route entirely: CentOS.

CentOS is an open source project that takes the source packages Red Hat Inc. offers to users as a free public download under the GPL and then removes trademarks and artwork. The washing-machine effect transforms Red Hat Enterprise Linux from its commercial entity into a more flexible and freely distributed version of Linux in the vein of Ubuntu or Debian.
