Um, no. You have to buy RHEL.

fedora is the free followup to the old free, downloadable redhat. At home, I've left RH, because it is both my opinion, and the opinion of a number of folks I know, including ESR, that fedora tends to be bleeding edge, rather than leading edge, and I have no desire to debug the o/s. RedHat enterprise you have to pay for, along with a service contract, as someone else noted. (Or they come with hardware, like Dell servers....) Centos, as I've learned, is basically the RH enterprise, rebuilt from source, with the serial numbers filed off - that is, all the RH-specific stuff, but the look and feel, I gather, is RH.

Dunno 'bout whitebox.
