This is something I'm struggling with. I want to run Oracle
on my lab systems, but I can't really afford to part with
the $1500 or so that RH Enterprise costs. Oracle nicely
makes their software free for learning, etc. Red Hat,
unfortunately, does not.

I think Red Hat's strategy makes a certain amount of sense
though. They've identified a niche that will pay handsomely,
compared to what your average consumer will pay, for Linux.
Why not focus on that market?
