There's not really much point buying Red Hat Enterprise Linux, especially if you're an individual or small business. CentOS, Oracle and others supply identical versions for free. It's the same software with all the RedHat trademarks stripped out.
I agree, Red Hat Enterprise Linux really isn't worth buying when there are so many other distributions that can be downloaded for free. Most of the time the free distributions have more features as well. I only used Red Hat because I could easily get a legitimate copy of it. If I were to use Linux as a home operating system I would definitely go for a free distributable (most likely Ubuntu).

On servers I prefer the RedHat Enterprise Linux clone CentOS. It is an enterprise class GNU/Linux distribution. Just like RHEL, CentOS focuses on stability and security, sacrificing the latest packages.
On workstations Ubuntu is a good pick. Our business switched to Ubuntu Linux on our desktops half a year ago, and we are very happy with it.

We had an original licence through work, but i have to say that if i had to pay for it you get just as good a package from some of the free downloads out there. the problem is that its a trusted name and most people want the security of that.

Ubuntu is not a bad choice for home Linux. Getting very popular these days. I agree there are times when not to install Linux as a home OS.
