SolutionRed Hat charges a fee for the whole package.
I believe that the since everything in Linux is supposed to be open source, you should be able to get the kernel source and documentation for implementing clustering.
Because Red Hat wants to make money off this, they don't make it easy to put the pieces together.
In theory, you should be able to take Stock Red Hat 7.x, 8.x and 9.x, make the kernel modifications, and then figure out how to implement clustering, if yo uneed it.
I will say that I've not done clustering though some day I plan to. I'm running a business(enterprise?) hosting websites on Red Hat 7.3 right now.

Re: Red HAt Enterprise
One thing is that the general release (Red Hat 9) is constantly getting updates and kernel changes and a new version will be out every 6 months. With Enterprise RH is having a longer release life -i.e. longer time between releases... 18 months.
Another reason is that once RH gets a stable kernel for their Enterprise they don't change it until the next Enterprise release. With the general release They update the kernel everytime they come up with an update.
These two combined are touted to make RH Enterprise more stable and reliable. This was straight from my Red Hat rep I've been dealing with.

Re: Red HAt Enterprise
I still don't get how they charge, but thats technically for support. One would think you should be able to download it without support for 18 months.
I've been using Red Hat 7.3 to run an online business with great results. I generally go to a release when its stable, though I did have to do the 7.2 to 7.3 step last upgrade cycle. Its rock solid and I love it.

Re: Red HAt Enterprise
RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) is guaranteed to be supported for 3 years after release. The standard Linux releases are only being supported for 1 year. After that, Red Hat claims that they will no longer provide errate, bug fixes etc. for it.
RHEL is the version that Red Hat is getting certified with various 3rd-party vendors (see
http://www.redhat.com/solutions/migration/applist.html
for a list)
