We pay SUSE and RedHat because enterprise customers demand support contracts with vendors. For everything else we just use CentOS. Also, both SUSE and RedHat have additional features locked behind the enterprise subscription. It might be open source but requires a license.

This makes me wonder. What Linux does Google run? I'm guessing Debian.

  I believe their Linux desktops are Debian-based but my understanding is their servers run a highly customized version of Linux that really isn't based on and doesn't look like a conventional distro.

    They used to use their own Ubuntu variant for desktops, but switched to their own Debian variant. And ChromeOS is based on Gentoo IIRC.
