The 7 Best Red Hat-Based Linux Distributions

Unlike other Linux distros, RHEL isn't free to download. But you can still enjoy its benefits by installing these free RHEL-based Linux distributions.

Red Hat became the largest open source company in the world before being acquired by IBM, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the company’s primary offering. This Linux-based OS has shown how much money a company can make by developing free software and supporting it through paid contracts.
