ClearOS is open source, and an excellent product. It's target is 
Firewall/gateway, or All-in-one with excellent web configuration 
front-end and marvelous integration of Servers, database, users... 
Especially suited for noob's or people not wanting to spend time 
learning administration.

What they charge are additional services like AntiVirus, backup, MX 
backup, On-line domain copy.... If you do not need them, you don't pay 
anything. And they used CentOS 5.x for base when they changed from 
ClarkConnect (with Home and paid Office and Enterprise versions) to 
ClearOS Foundation.

If it was not for ClarkConnect (rpm based, RHEL at the core), my first 
Linux server/router/firewall,  I might not choose CentOS and might not 
learn so much about iptables, etc.
