Do you have to pay for Linux red hat?

Technically, you are paying for support of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. This includes their supported releases and patches. You can use CentOS if you wanted a "truly free" operating system equivalent to RHEL (it's basically Red Hat without the support), but that is developed by the community and Red Hat does not provide support for it. Your only way of getting support would be through forums or paying another company to troubleshoot for you.
