Same thing here.

We are a small group doing research and education on HPC at the 
University of Vienna. A full (educational) RHEL license costs 50 EUR 
here - once. Software support (ie. patches) for our SPARC T3-2 is about 
(just trying to get a quote for renewal) 2000 EUR *per year*. Go figure.

For Linux, we have to stick to one of the major distributions, as only 
they are supported by the necessary tools, drivers, compilers for HPC 
components.
