None of them. Run FreeBSD. It's better.
Redhat (and, well, Linux) is mostly geared toward Desktops.
It is supposedly "userfriendly", which just makes it a piece of crap and
buggy. If you prefer using things like "RPM" and dealing with GNU
crappage and glibc issues all the time, then you probably want to use
Linux., possibly in the form of Redhat if you really feel sadistic.
