All the Linux(es) and OpenSolaris are Free (in the sense that you don't
have to pay per-seat or per-server licenses); Nexenta is an OpenSolaris
derivative and is likewise free. You can download, install, and update
them all for free.
For all the commercial versions of Linux (Ubuntu, RedHat, SUSE, etc)
plus OpenSolaris you can get paid support contracts, which will cover
priority telephone support, plus access to certain custom patches and
much more attention to potential problems than from Microsoft. The
exact level of support you will receive depends on the vendor.
The best thing (in my opinion) about the Linux/OpenSolaris model of
paying only for support is that you really get something for your money,
and you generally pay considerably less. Most vendors will only have
you pay for support for those machines which you consider critical (i.e.
the ones you really want covered) - in many cases, I see companies pay
for support for their central server infrastructure, and then don't
bother for their development and desktop environments; this is all
perfectly legal.
