I have been doing some assessment work on Redhat. AFAICT Redhat charges approx $500NZ per year per server. (that's the bare bones basic subscription) and approx $1200 per year per server for 12X5 telephone support. There's a more expensive 24X7 one as well.
Does anyone on the list have any experience with Redhat's services? What I'm trying to figure out is whether it is worth my employer spending it's money on some of these subscriptions or whether we just go Centos and muddle through. I am not the world's most experienced sysadmin but I *can* usually muddle through. My experience with another supplier (which at this point will remain nameless) was appalling when I went to them for support. That was the reason we were using their distro was because it was supported but when I tried to get that support for a quite obscure problem they were hopeless and I fixed the problem myself eventually.
