    I've never seen an evaluation version of a Linux distro before (though I'm sure they've been around for a while). How does this work?

    Its like crack, first hit is free.

    Actually, support, engineering and consultants still cost. Just because someone is a linux admin, doesn't give them enough expertise in clustering, dba, or other skills needed to setup a large Linux server farm. Software is cheap, manpower costs. Look how Microsoft is giving software away, but charges for the support contracts.
