Is there a free 'Helvetica Neue' alternative?

Question

Does anyone know any other fonts similar to Helvetica Neue (free for commercial use)? I'm working on a big website project where 'Helvetica Neue' is used heavily. I need a font that looks almost the same, is free for personal and commercial use, and looks good even when used with copytext (e.g. fontsize for copytext = 11px, for headlines = 16px).Also there should be a condensed-font style included (if possible).

I highly recommend Designcuts.com they offer font packages at a huge discount that makes it feel like the font is free. Typically also you can include the cost of the font into the pricing of a commercial piece since it is an expense.
