Red Hat Enterprise is still open source. You pay an annual fee for support.
The downloadable version is not compiled, but you can download pre-compiled ISOs from www.whiteboxlinux.org. This is Red Hat Enterprise for free - just no support.
We've just downloaded and installed this onto a new Dell dual Xeon server and it found all the hardware and works perfectly.
