What would be the benefit of buying RHEL?
PS3 40GB has YDL 6.1 running 480i on a piece of $#!% Sanyo 24 incher. Need to go to 1080p.

Corporate phone support from RedHat techs.
Otherwise - try CentOS. It's built from the RHEL sources - just rebranded to avoid RHEL copyrighted images.
In other words, CentOS is about as close to RHEL as you can get without paying.
I posted a history here:

I already tried CentOS 5 and it just seemed plain boring to me. I favored Fedora more for some reason I don't know why.
Plus the forums weren't worth doodie, all they did was redirect me to other pages instead of giving me 1st hand experienced answers like on here.

Well - that's basically RHEL. It's designed more for corporate environments than the home user.
You know, folks that want to set up a server farm, etc. Or deploy OpenOffice to a lot of desktops.
RHEL stresses stability over cutting edge software development. Most adventurous Linux users will find Fedora more their speed.

You know I don't see any other companies running linux on their computer well exept maybe the people who make the distro. All I see is Windows everywhere.
I know
I am going to start my own business and have and enterprise worthy distro on each computer. The employees will have to get used to it and by the end of one year they are going to be masters at linux while still doing their jobs.

Even backend?
We run a shed load of RHEL for hosting sites with Tomcat/Apache.
Yes most corporates use Windows for desktop/laptop deployment for end users but I see Linux everywhere in server rooms.
