Of course you can.

Please browse to
   http://www.futuredesktop.org/how2burn.html#mirrors

   And read the sections for RedHat and Fedora-Core and
   the relevant alternatives.

   My recommendation is:
     1) CentOS (~ RedHat EL) or go for WhiteBox.
     2) Fedora-Core-2 (FC3 available soon).
     3) UserLinux Enterprise Server and (Desktops). Great success !
