The pay linux options you're seeing are, essentially, pay for support
style deals. Suse has its open source sister, OpenSuse, and Red Hat has
Fedora Core.
Also, remember that open source doesn't mean free by default. These are
still open source solutions.
That aside, I love Fedora Core, OpenSuse, and Ubuntu. Slackware is good
too, but in a number of ways is behind the curve. OpenSuse doesn't have
the awesome repositories, out of the box, that FC and Ubuntu do, but is
still very nice. Overall, it's hard to go dead wrong. Try a few out, see
what suits you.

What are your recommendations as far as which type(s) of Linux to use?
I thought Linux was open source, but looking around on the internet, it
seems that some are charging for their efforts. SuSE and Red Hat, for
instance.
Any suggestions or am I missing something?
Thanks!
