Hmm, good, fast, stable & free would be more appropriate.
You _pay_ for _services_, not for "linux"

You _choose_ to buy from redhat/suse/hardware vendors etc, and you pay
them for support. But linux itself is completely free, as in beer.

I would recommend getting a service contract from any software vendor
whos product I felt was important to me or my company. This is a
personal choice and not obligatory. 

my 0.2 centimes - Heard the french using it (euro cent) and thought it
sounded cool. (Officially entering it into the english language :--0)

Conor.
