Red Hat Linux:

A commercial Linux distribution and the most popular in the world for many years, both commercial and non-commercial . Established in 1994, it is not known how many Red Hat computers exist as there is no per-seat license on basic Red Hat software. Instructions are below on how to download it for free.
This software is available for free because the economy and industry is increasingly services-based rather than product-based. Red Hat makes money by supporting Linux, not selling it, and they are not alone in this strategy. Even the anti-GPL Microsoft is leaning towards more subscription-based software and services.
