As far as Red Hat's concerned, I wouldn't even go there. It may be nice
and GUI-like and full of wonderful GUI programs and stuff, but as far as
actual system administration is concerned, you learn "Red Hat
administration" and not real useful Linux or *BSD administration
techniques. If you want to develop techniques that you can transport from
one OS to another, get either FreeBSD or NetBSD. (I, being a NetBSD user,
would recommend that over FreeBSD, but that's just me.)
