After the 30 day trial finishes, the system will not stop running, but you won’t get updates.
If you want something free, try CentOS (which is a RHEL clone).

Open a browser and go to https://rhn.redhat.com/ , create account and download trial version. If you need 100% free RHEL clone try CentOS http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/isos/

37 Soumen July 29, 2010 at 12:14 pm

I want RHEL5 server. What version of centOS is almost clone of RHEL5 server ? If there is no difference between cent OS and REEL5 server, why people should buy RHEL5 server for their application. We are going to test our application in RHEL5.

Pl. suggest .
