RHEL is not that expensive.  The actual OS is free.  You pay for support
on a subscription basis.  Support these days is around $300 US per year
per server. And if you do not want to pay Red hat for support, you can
always run CentOS which is free and is identical to RHEL, RPM for RPM,
except for some of the graphics collateral.
