Enterprise Version is expensive, but you can still buy the boxed version
of RedHat Linux which I'm sure will be as reliable as ever.
Personally I think that the free "proving ground" version is an
excellent idea, it will give users a current, up-to-date version of
Linux while not messing with currently installed Enterprise Level
applications.
I think that constantly updating and screwing with an Enterprise server
is a bad idea - it opens the door to a lot of security issues. Install
security patches and then wait for the next industrial strength release
of RedHat Enterprise. In the meantime use the free version to evaluate
the new features.
