The difference between RH and RHE is $$$.

If you want to learn RH, get RH. If you want to learn Linux, get
Slackware.


I really really really don't mean to start a flame war, and I do value
slackware and debian, but for my own curiosity, exactly what can you do in
slackware that you can't do in RH/FC or on an rpm-based distribution? Of
course RH has all these GUIs that sometimes are annoying and hide stuff
from the user, but you can still do everything at the prompt. If you can
find the shell, that is ;)
