OSes. Someone already suggested Cent OS. Cent OS is same as RHEL except the proprietary stuff.
Eh? Proprietary?
Centos = RHEL minus RedHat trademarks.
Now that I think about it. Trademarks are proprietary items too. Sorry for the noise.
trademarks have nothing to do with software - the question of open vs closed does not arise. As far as I know, even the name linux is trademarked somewhere or the other. So calling a trademark 'proprietary' is meaningless.
