I've been seeing 'redhat linux' what is redhat?

To put it short, it is a Linux distro that is geared toward commercial applications and for those who need well tested installs. Also, they offer paid tech support for when there is a bug, security problem or other assistance is needed to maintain the install.
For a normal user, I wouldn't recommend Redhat. If you need something like Redhat, try Mandriva. Mandriva is more user oriented, pretty well tested and has user based support, forums and such. I started out with Mandrake which changed its name to Mandriva. It is a OK distro. Updates are not very frequent but most likely more often than Redhat. The install is pretty easy too, it's GUI based.
