If you have an old PC lying around, download and install Fedora on it, to work with while you learn. Fedora is RedHat without the logo.

If you don't have a machine handy, and want to get familiar with it via the command line, you can sign up for a XEN virtual server slice at slicehost (my referral ID is shamelessly embedded in the link), have them build it with fedora, and then tweak to your hearts delight.

Sort of. Fedora is the distribution that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is based on; Fedora is more bleeding edge --- kind of like the "unstable" branch of Debian.

@Flint: To get a good feel for RHEL, download the current verison of CentOS and run it from a partition. It's RHEL with all the Red Hat logos and proprietary (non-GPL) stuff taken out. The CentOS developers literally download the publicly-available source RPMs of the current RHEL edition. You won't get closer to RHEL without buying it.
